Album: Rites Of Passage

The Open Door

Did you see it coming, burning fast like a candle's falme?
At the gates of desperation was endless pouring rain
The padded truth that helped to hide a world turned upside down
Lying alone in a sea of tears, for now she's safe and sound

Oh God open your doors
Along the eternal shores
You know my Momma's coming there

As the blood ran thin, a judgement was passed down
Hands all around unknowing, stained with ashes and filled with doubt
From beneath the seed that spread the hunger, the blessed ascend
The river's red, the haunting ceased, and nothing more could be said

Sweet love, sweet love, so much you gave
I love you 'til this day
Sometimes you're rollin'
Sometimes you can't get goin'
Yeah, but you find a way
Through it all -- you just ride it, ride it, ride it
Yeah, get on your way
Get on along the eternal shores
