The Story

Song Lyrics by Caedmon’s Call
from the album In the Company of Angels II

In some sweet ways it’s simple
sometimes that’s all I can need
to trust someone else
so I can get some sleep.

And all our heroes have deserted
suddenly we’re nothing
on our own.
Well, now that's all I am.

Oh, can you tell me the story
of all of your glory
of your rising again?
Cause I, I’m in love with the mystery
of how our sad history
can turn out for good.

In the bitter man he’s angry
Angry man just thinks he’s right
Too right to see mercy
when he’s standing in its light

And we can shed tears over dying
we can rage and we can fight
but we cannot forget
that we were loved before we opened up our eyes
Such foolish pride

And it’s a shame to build our homes
with bricks of fear and cynical stones
there is nothing left to run from
there is nothing left but love

Oh, can you tell me the story
of all of your glory
of your rising again?
Cause I, I’m in love with the mystery
of how our sad history
can turn out for good.
