| And then after all, with our backs against the wall
|
| We seek the temple of the living God
|
| And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
|
| To see the temple of the living God
|
| To see the temple of the living God
|
| Suffer, trespass, stranger redeemed
|
| Leviticus 21:18
|
| The blind, the lame, the flat nosed
|
| Superfluous
|
| Broken footed on burning sand
|
| The Priest, the seed, the blood stained hand
|
| The leper testifies and turns to dust
|
| And then after all, with our backs against the wall
|
| We seek the temple of the living God
|
| And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
|
| To see the temple of the living God
|
| To see the temple of the living God
|
| Oblation, vows, the promise of faith
|
| Atonement, the wine, oil and cakes
|
| The sheep, the goats, acceptable in his eyes
|
| The maimed, the blemished, the scurvy scabbed
|
| The creeping things, the firstborn lamb
|
| Avail his presence in the house of sacrifice
|
| And then after all, with our backs against the wall
|
| We seek the temple of the living God
|
| And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
|
| To see the temple of the living God
|
| To see the temple of the living God |
