The Messenger

It has been a very long time since I've blogged and don't expect this to be much of a blog anyway. These are just some really cool lyrics to a really cool song:
Mark me with fear and trembling
Send someone else instead
I know my world is ending
I can't repay my debt
How can I carry such heavy burden?
How can I move when I am paralyzed?
I see a fire behind a heavy curtain
I lean in closer and I close my eyes
And kiss the coals
Breathe in smoke and I say
"Here I am, send me!"
It lifts my soul
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me!"
Mark me with fire and send me
Among the living dead
They cannot comprehend me
I watch the sickness spread
How can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?
How can they see me when they close their eyes?
Still they can tell that I'm an easy target
A wooden saw is quite a way to die
Kiss the coals
Breathe in smoke and I say
"Here I am, send me!"
It lifts my soul
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me!"
"Here I am, send me!"
It lifts my soul
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me!"
"The Messenger" by Thrice, from The Alchemy Index Vol. I, Fire (with some help from Isaiah 6:8)
