Bury the Dead Songtext

von Wedding Party

Lord, when You call in the night
"What would Your servant do?
What land are you sending me to?"
And I will go for You
What about my family and friends?
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go

Lord, I'm walking
And I'm not taking anything with me
And I'm on this road
And the voices are calling but I'm not listening
And I'm not alone
For there are those who are coming with me
And I'm on my way home

When everything's left unsaid
Let the dead bury the dead, little brother
Get up and take your bed
Even when your last tear is shed
Follow me

Lord, my spirit is tired
I will renew your strength
And I'm in captivity
It's for freedom I set you free
Lord I'm in much too deep
For each other to breathe
For each other to breathe
Lay it at my feet
Lay it at my feet

Lord, I'm walking
And I'm not taking anything with me
And I'm on this road
And the voices are calling but I'm not listening
And I'm not alone
For there are those who are coming with me
And I'm on my way home

When everything's left unsaid
Let the dead bury the dead
Oh, we're almost done
The Spirit and the Bride say
"Come . . . marry me."
Marry me
