neurosis - a season in the sky lyrics

i had a vision last night, my god was glowing
there was another bridge on fire
and the last wrecks were counted
the sky opened and the blood flowed
a distant cancerous season was upon me
i had a hook in my back and a light to guide me
my words were useless again

the leftovers were playing with my memories of love
i screamed at my god and he let me go
i drifted silently to the desert and began to pray
i came to a pile of ashes and sifted through it looking for teeth
a snake spoke through me again
but i could not heal their wounds

i'm searching for the old spirit of war
with my rough hands and a sharp knife
i need something to cut into so that my god can see me again

to be right again
to see my shadow alone
to get back to the hook a let the light burn in my soul

all i've seen walking through the fire
the figures in my dreams
run back on me in a psychic scar
as i ride to the dawn
