Song Lyrics

"Martyrs And Thieves"

by Jennifer Knapp
Album: Kansas

There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to. That presses harsh hope against time.

In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves. who only want to rob you blind.

They steal away any sense of peace, tho I'm a king.

I'm a king on my knees. And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong.

As the darkness covers me.

So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory, I am not afraid.

To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain.

Where there is peace and Love in the Light in the Light, I am not afraid.

To let your light shine bright in my life In my life.

There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul.

Than I thought I had given away.

They linger in closets and under my bed. And in pictures less proudly dis-played.

A great fool in my Life I have been.

Have squandered til pallid and thin. Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame.

From darkness I know I've let win. Can you hear me' Can you hear me'
