Rachael Sage - Better From Mars Lyrics

History repeats itself with the venom
Of the blackest widow malice in tow
Dragging it’s prey before murder and yet
A spider-less garden is death to us also
When the light severs clouds at the dawning of daybreak
Creatures move frantically out of harm’s fire
Light is to truth as darkness is to hatred
Fear is the flower that bees never kiss

I long for the day that I know never comes
For as long as my right eye can see down this road
It stings hard and abruptly this pain of no hope
For the future of green in a garden of grey

Oh God, in your infinite wisdom and discipline
Give me the strength to hold fear in my hands
And shake hands with the saints undercover as strangers
Who bring skim milk and honey from neighboring lands

The whips crack in tandem and hit me with knowledge
So deep and so bruising my blood is confused
Not knowing whose body from whence it is flowing
And in this it resembles the rivers of the world
So lonely are we in this tunnel of progress
Awaiting volcanoes and quaking of air
Against earth, against emptiness so hard to swallow
Refusing to recognize all of its worth

And space is the promise and poison of everything
And fear is the excuse for freedom’s false taste
As we sink perfect teeth into apples of senselessness
Feeding on shiny red circles of hate

Oh God, in your infinite wisdom and discipline
Give me the strength to hold fear in my hands
And shake hands with the saints undercover as strangers
Who bring skim milk and honey from neighboring lands

I live for that moment of pleasure-less happiness
Where for once serpents go hungry and starve
At peace though and drunk in the prize of the promise
Future daybreaks will taste better from mars

Oh God, in your infinite wisdom and discipline
Give me the strength to hold fear in my hands
And shake hands with the saints undercover as strangers
Who bring skim milk and honey from neighboring lands

In my hands
And shake hands with the saints undercover as strangers
Who bring skim milk and honey from neighboring lands
