Never make a promise now you can't keep,
And only pray for the things that you most seek,
And never make a wish that you might regret,
And only hope for the things you're unafraid to confess.

Never use empty words in a hollow head,
Or bury your dreams with the waking dead,
Never, never doubt the power: water and blood,
Resurrection is a man, and his name is Love.

Sitting on top of a steeple so high,
I am proud and touching the sky,
I can see for' for a million miles,
From this exalted place I can see your future so clear,
And I'll ring those bells, for tomorrow we'll dine,
For tomorrow we'll dine, oh no, no, no.
No, no, no.

Yeah,
Oh.

Never let the power rattle your bones,
Or ride the pale horse all alone,
And never unlock a forbidden latch,
Within an itching head there's always sin to scratch.

Never lose everything that you have embraced,
And never panic when you think it has all been erased,
And never be a prisoner of this reproach,
I am bound by the countless things God solved.

Like lightning touches the ground, my hand is on your heart,
I can squeeze in just a little fear,
So go ahead and cling to your old rugged cross,
He's not hanging 'round no more,
Your religion can't save you now.

Never, ever, ever, ever,
Never, ever, ever, ever,
Never, ever, ever, ever,
Never, ever, ever, ever.

Violate, violate,
Tell you about a tragedy,
Violate, violate life's realities,
Suck me in, suck me in,
Cut me deep, make no mistake,
You're bound and you are gonna bleed.
