Where The World Divides

saints are drawn to the desert
moths to the candle flame
you know there’s gonna be trouble
but you go there just the same
and I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
where the world divides
I went down to find you
I went down alone
the sky was a net of diamonds
the moon a washed-up bone
I said to myself be patient
I said to my soul beware
what is that in the distance
like a wild thing caught in a snare?
what I want is judgement
is it mercy or the rope?
in the court of hopeless causes
won’t you let me live in hope?
saints are drawn to the desert
moths to the candle flame
you know there’s gonna be trouble
but you go there just the same
and I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
where the world divides
