One child stood before the altar

One child stood out in the rain

One child spent his time imagining

And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a—

Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line

I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find

A tunnel out so we all can be saved

If not, just take this earth and bury me

For this will be my grave

One child hid inside the darkness

One child never said a thing

One child closed his eyes and disappeared

But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper—

Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line

I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find

A tunnel out so we all can be saved

If not, just take this earth and bury me

For this will be my grave

I will believe in you

If you still want me to

Or tell me I'm on my own

There on the other side

Tell me the Pilate's died

And we're no longer alone

Take your answers and your promises

Believe me I don't care

I have held on to your words

Until I found them only air

What good are your promises

If you can always take them back?

Still, I hang on every word

'Til my hands are bleeding

I will believe in you

If you still want me to

Or tell me I'm on my own

There on the other side

Tell me the Pilate's died

And we're no longer alone

I will believe in you (We had no choice but to stay and follow)

If you still want me to (We have nothing left except tomorrow)

Or tell me I'm on my own (We have nothing left except what will be)

There on the other side (What we need here are some real decisions)

Tell me the Pilate's died (While you only offer mindless visions)

And we're no longer alone (Visions that nobody else here can see)

We're on our own (I will believe in you) (We had no choice but to stay and follow)

If you still want me to (We have nothing left except tomorrow)

We're on our own (Or tell me I'm on my own) (We have nothing left except what will be)

There on the other side (What we need here are some real decisions)

We're on our own (Tell me the Pilate's died) (While you only offer mindless visions)

We're on our— (And we're no longer alone) (Visions that nobody else here can see)

I will believe in you

If you still want me to

Or tell me I'm on my own

There on the other side

Tell me the Pilate's died

Right there in the earth

I've been drawing a line

I'm digging it deep

Don't know if I'll find

A tunnel out so we all can be saved

If not, just take this earth and bury me

For this will be my grave
