Glory Lyrics
[00:24.45] I see his eyes moving away from me
[00:32.54] Oh no, is this another albatross?
[00:40.41] He knows he holds dominion over me
[00:48.45] But what I gain is worth the cost
[00:56.40] We share the cold embrace of cousins
[01:04.58] I wonder if I've seen him somewhere else before
[01:12.56] And as I wonder at his ancestry
[01:20.58] I miss the meeting by the door
[01:28.54] And in the telling of the story
[01:37.38] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[01:44.52] I read his lips and I see glory
[01:52.55] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[02:00.36] So from the fog of every morning
[02:08.91] Until the heat of day is still
[02:16.55] I watch the clock as it turns backwards
[02:24.55] I see the water run uphill
[02:32.53] And in the telling of the story
[02:40.58] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[02:48.54] I read his lips and I see glory
[02:56.59] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[03:04.43]
[03:37.02] And in the telling of the story
[03:45.04] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[03:53.08] I read his lips and I see glory
[04:01.05] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[04:04.03]
[00:32.54] Oh no, is this another albatross?
[00:40.41] He knows he holds dominion over me
[00:48.45] But what I gain is worth the cost
[00:56.40] We share the cold embrace of cousins
[01:04.58] I wonder if I've seen him somewhere else before
[01:12.56] And as I wonder at his ancestry
[01:20.58] I miss the meeting by the door
[01:28.54] And in the telling of the story
[01:37.38] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[01:44.52] I read his lips and I see glory
[01:52.55] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[02:00.36] So from the fog of every morning
[02:08.91] Until the heat of day is still
[02:16.55] I watch the clock as it turns backwards
[02:24.55] I see the water run uphill
[02:32.53] And in the telling of the story
[02:40.58] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[02:48.54] I read his lips and I see glory
[02:56.59] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[03:04.43]
[03:37.02] And in the telling of the story
[03:45.04] I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
[03:53.08] I read his lips and I see glory
[04:01.05] But what I hear is "be afraid"
[04:04.03]
