Xayah,
you were always on my mind
And I want a family reunion in
the sky in due time
Xayah, my absent time with the
loved ones towards you
Oh, I want you
And you greet me with
your arms wide open
And open them for
Roman's road is full
of these potholes
And the plow grows and it thickens
And we're all frozen and smitten
Like we all chose to be victims
But the wall shows me what's written
I was measured and weighted,
I missed it
Found one that discarded and distant
Ain't resorted to carving my wrists yet
But I've been tempted since
that sinister infection
Friend step when this gets desperate
Wind sprint when my skin's leprous
Left dead by my kindred
When my second dread said
Listen, let's live this
Instead of this reckless
Let's, let's, let's
yes and it's just us now
The lepers have stuck their sound
No sign of a full family
Pumping the same blood now
Nothing but up now
Now we struck out to see what clouds
We can touch now
Well it's under the blood now
You were always on my
mind and I don't want
A family reunion in the
sky of new times
Cause I have
A miles in time with the
loved ones towards you
I don't want
You to greet me with your arms
wide open and open and wide
What can I say?
What can I say?
Better is one day
Better is one day
Alongside
Avalon's rivers,
we sat on the frozen ice -cold banks
We wept and we cried and we bribed,
remember the sweet good old days
Alongside the blackening crackling aspens,
that's our breaking heart
Weeping profusely besides ourselves,
we stacked our unplayed hearts
That's when the captors demanded a song,
sarcastic and mocking and egging us on
Sing us a ballad of valor, you speak of the banner,
you preach of the song of
Zion
Oh how could we ever sing
God's song in this wasteland,
in your face man
If I ever forget your
Jerusalem, lose me in quicksand,
well I just can't
My fingers they wither and fall like ash
My tongue be swollen
and then turn black
If I fail to remember you
Zion
My lion might bite the
spine out my back
God remember those
Shaddamites now
Remember they ruined
Jerusalem's walls
Remember they yelled out let's
smash it to pieces
Let's work it completely
Jerusalem balls
Babylonian unholy ones
Raiders and savages ravaging hunts
Lord a reward to whoever
gets back at them
For their crime and all that they done
The city of
David where
Israel walks
Solomon's temple of
Zion I tongue
Yes, a reward to the one
who grabs
Babylon's babies to go smash
your heads on the rocks
Cause
I, you were always
on my mind
And I want a family reunion
in the sky in due time
Cause
I, I'm marching time with the
loved ones towards you
I want you to greet me with your
arms wide open and open
Cause
I, you were always on my mind
And I want a family reunion
in the sky in due time
Cause
I, I'm marching time with the
sad ones towards you
