Dar Williams And a God Descended Lyrics

Step through his trampled wall, the unhinged door betrays it all,
That far within our faith we were all waiting.
The broken glass reflects the haze, it
shines like endless holy days, Struggling to remember what they're celebrating.

Well a god descended, And the real time ended.
His light was lifted just above the law,
And now we have to live with what we did, with what we saw.

Well you mend your clothes and patch your roof
and slivers of God's SHATTERED TRUTH
Grow tender as the grass in clean swept yards.
But a savior came and told us how
the truth was all around us now,
Abandon house and field and gather up the stars

Well a god descended, And the real time ended.
His light was lifted just above the law,
And now we have to live with what we did with what we saw.

You build your faith with strength and duty, Build your love, but there's a beauty,
Well you know the scriptures tell, There are a few shards left in hell,
And if we wanted God we had to follow, follow him down, him down.

Pictures torn out of their frames and orgies where we lost our names,
All were gone with time's real desire. Well you ask how God can curse you thus,
that's not a question asked by us, We burnt our beds and books, we fear we've lost the fire.
The God descended, and the real time ended.
His light was lifted just above the law,
And now we have to live with what we did with what we saw.
