- John Mark McMillan Ten Thousand 歌词
- John Mark McMillan
- Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid
[01:29.59]As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
[01:37.06]For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
[01:44.92]Where the blood of a husband silences wars
[01:49.50]For the girl who rises to meet him
[03:32.98][01:55.52]And she sings
[03:52.09][03:38.84][03:34.55][02:01.20][01:56.68]World, I have overcomeyou
[03:43.21][02:05.50]World, I have overcome
[03:47.01][02:09.23]Bymy song and the blood of a son
Ten thousand rivers
Run red like my veins
Where the bones of men hum
Like a rattling cage
For sinew to cling to
And wind to remain
In ten thousand lungs
For ten thousand days
Breathing like a choir
Of holes in the ground
Where the cynical have lain
Where the cynical go down
Save the gravity of time
Lets go of her drowned
Like ten thousand sparrows
Unlocked and unwound
