Devil's Bargain Songtext

von New Model Army

So you found your wayout there to the edge of the World
Where the falcons fly but you're still pinned to the ground
So up the stony pathways like Moses before
To stand high on your Mountain and look down on us all

They call this faith they call it a Devils bargain
Or just following on to the end

There's a thousand little tricks and games of control
And the with holding of love is the cruelest of all
People are like trees they sway and they bend
But you stand like a rock and face into the wind

They call this faith they call it a Devils bargain
Or just following on to the end

And the closer the sun the colder and thinner the air becomes
But you were never scared of anything or anyone
You stand like a statue as the animals come
To take from your hand to eat from your hand

There's a dusty old photograph I'll always recall
Maybe it's true what they say - it takes a piece of your soul
You were jumping from the bridge and falling into space
Looking back at the camera with that smile on your face

They call it faith they call it a Devils bargain
Or just following on to the end
