Oh how I cried aloud Though no one heard a sound How I was locked and chained But none could see me bound
For I spoke of peace But I dreamt of war
Secrets have a voice Screaming without breath My heart speaks of its choice Calling for my death
Mountains take flight, rain down from above Shadows and night aren't dark enough Rocks and hills, cover me! Rocks and hills, hide me from your face! Rocks and hills, hide me!
I claimed to be rich Truly, I was poor
Secrets have a voice Screaming without breath My heart speaks of its choice Calling for my death
Choosing my own path Shrouded treachery Ignore the aftermath, living carelessly Tempting you to wrath with infidelity
So where's the fire? where's the flood? These guilty hands are covered in blood Shouldn't I die when your laws I deny?
Earth heeds not my cries Mercy come or I die
You speak with your own voice "come be not afraid Weep no more rejoice Punishment is paid? "
I feared the one who bears all sin Will you take me in father? Cover me with your blood! Cover me with your blood! Cover me!
