The Messenger

[verse] Mark me with fear and trembling Send someone else instead I know my world is ending I can't repay my debt [pre-Chorus] Can I carry such a heavy burden? Can I move when I am paralyzed? I see a fire behind a heavy curtain I lean in closer and I close my eyes [Chorus] Kiss the coals; breathe in smoke And I say, "Here I am, send me." Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid "Here I am, send me, send me." Free and so unafraid "Here I am, send me." [verse] Mark me with fire and send me Among the living dead They cannot comprehend me; I watch the sickness spread [pre-Chorus 2] How can they hear me when their hearts are hardened? How can they see me when they close their eyes? So they can tell that I'm an easy target A wooden saw is quite a way to die [Chorus] Kiss the coals; breathe in smoke And I say, "Here I am, send me." Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid "Here I am, send me, send me." Free and so unafraid "Here I am, send me." "Here I am, send me."
