Promised Land

Hey redeemer Now what's become of me Taken in by promise Awakening in grief Collecting us like puppets You instrumentalize A frigid trepidation In a million puppet eyes God gave his word just to let us down Where is he now? You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land You scratched my back and I scratched yours It's you who makes decisions I just open up the doors Whining in the gutter They forget their sanctity Welcome to my clockwork Vanity machinery You gave your word You let me down What am I now You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land Oh, as far as the eye can see They're bent in submission Empty inside An army of scarecrows like me Thousands of broken dreams Thousands of tragedies Tried to run from their destiny Oh, like moths to a flame Driven by vanity They've been off to Jerusalem Chasing a dream Calling on me We're just trading in needs You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land
