Avalanche in Heaven

Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash!
Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven’s trash
Eternity’s too long a wait kneeling at the cross
Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts
I could go blind
Sleep 1,000 years
Still I’d see you every night
Like a reflection in the mirror
Can’t clean to disappear
Still I see you every night
Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash!
Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven’s trash
Eternity’s too long a wait kneeling at the cross
Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts
All the stars will hang, the sky will take a bow
The moon will flash a fang in an executioner’s gown
All the tongues of Babel will call you by your name
Along that hidden path hand in hand again
Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash!
Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven’s trash
Eternity’s too long a wait kneeling at the cross
Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts
An avalanche in heaven, a rapture in reverse
I’ll stand beneath the ladder to worship at your curse
The martyrs will return to bask amongst the flame
Along that hidden path hand in hand again
All the stars will hang, the sky will take a bow
The moon will flash a fang in an executioner’s gown
All the tongues of Babel will call you by your name
Along that hidden path hand in hand again
