Follow into Shadow Songtext

von John Brown's Body

And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't steal from the broken-hearted.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body and send me far.
Til I'm gone.
And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't bleed for the mourning sun.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body 'til I'm gone.
Til I'm gone

No blows will cripple muscle and no knees will buckle down.
Spilled blood will restore our health when you return it to the ground.
I see your temple crumble in the center of your mind.
He who has little faith is doomed to die.
Who don't grieve to see the humble man who has to crawl.
We do not seek to reason with none of these temporary laws.
Who take life away that injury becomes your cross.
And we will live to see you cut off. Pay your cost.

And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't steal from the broken-hearted.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body and send me far.
Til I'm gone.
And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't bleed for the mourning sun.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body 'til I'm gone.
Til I'm gone

Though we wrestle not against the flesh and the blood,
But against the principalities;
Against the powers;
Against the rulers of the darkness of this world;
Against the spiritual wickedness in high places.
Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow,
I know we will fear no evil.
Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow,
I know we will fear no evil.

We be the seed beneath your feet, the force you stumble getting by.
Feel the coming of the tide to make your blood pressure rise.
Whatever form we meet our foe, it shall be dreadful in their eyes.
The deceiver shall have no home or place to hide.
My flesh cannot be opened like the petals from a stem.
How can you mean to rule me with no powers from the land?
But I won't leave the region 'til the fight is truly done.
And I will come on give light until the sun everyone.
I will live on any meal that's left me.
I will go down any road you send me.
I won't need no army to defend me.
I will you leave spiraling, descending.

And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't steal from the broken-hearted.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body and send me far.
Til I'm gone.
And I won't follow into shadow.
I won't bleed for the mourning sun.
And if I follow into shadow,
Come let the wind blow 'way my body 'til I'm gone.
Til I'm gone
Til I'm gone
Til I'm gone
Til I'm gone
