lyrics

in the darkest times
you can let the light in

when you are in the darkness
shine, shine

let the light in

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin

it's not what it seems
everything gleems and shines
we get fitted with blinds
to block the out from the inside

nine lies, nine lives
ravage the mind's eye
life goes by
and you sit on the sidelines

guidelines
evil man's relevant foes
he claims to know truth
but it's only a pose

examine all else
man gathers in droves
examine yourself
and your mind'll explode

let go, behold
watch a man turn cold
while the word from the Father
stays under exposed

stay blind Young Tom
as you ruin the proof
and the light in my eyes
is just darkness to you

no more sleep walkin'
no wakin' and goin' forth
no more just talkin'
I'm takin' a new course

I preach and teach
and plant seeds as I breathe
I'll never concede
'til the whole world believes

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin

I can't sleep at night
I'm feelin' hunted and haunted
fifty-Gs for my life
number four most wanted

I can't win
so I'm constantly runnin'
paranoia sets in
'cuz I'm constantly blunted

my girl at my hand
feelin' totally lethal
stole the money from the man
gave it back to the people

did it once, twice
a third time, we made it
the fourth time we tried
they had authorities waitin'

so now we on the lam
no plan, had to get by
then I realize, damn
I'm preparing to die

so she started to cry
and I started to cry
and so we sat and smoked up
our entire supply

and as the sun went down
the moon came up
my girl bent down
and we both went buck

they found us, they shot us
no shootout, no worry
I died with a smile
that's it, end of story

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin

reduce the enemy
let loose the revelry of a remedy
crucify seperately
any who keep the memory

mentally, sendin' our
messages through telepathy
quietly, silently
hiding me in Gethsemane

eventually
leadin' the last charge for God's cause
currently
watchin' the world dodge at all costs

knock knock
head on the block and chop
you thought
who's there?
nobody cared
declare new law

fightin' for your life
don't matter then what you here for
once more
righting a wrong
you shed a tear for

hardcore
starting to sense immense cheer for
seesaw
sit on the fence
commence world war

start toward lettin' the light in
you might win
stifflin'
charges of marksmen
for heartless
frightenin' evil and lightnin'
your life then
go forth warning the world
of the darkness

you can hide in the shadow of man
'til the light brings you in
resurrect! let your new life begin
what I was doesn't make what I am, what I am
resurrect! let your new life begin
