David Gray - Sacred Ground Lyrics

David Gray Lyrics

"Sacred Ground"

Dressed in only tar and feathers
Naked eyeball, vanities
As the searchlights burst like doves through the window
Leave me to my victory

Build a city in the mouth of a furnace
Feed the fire and melt it down
And the ancient hush descendin'
Comin' on this sacred ground

Lake a whale's heart pumpin' life blood
Through his veins as thick as trees
Let the spirit flood our mouths and our fingers
For to hold us from our leave

Build a city in the mouth of a graveyard
Feed the fire and melt it down
From the ancient hush descending
Comin' on this sacred ground

No matter what, nobody will be denied
Woah, nobody, woah, nobody
Will be denied
Yeah, nobody, woah, nobody
Will be denied

Comin' on this sacred ground
Comin' on this sacred ground
Comin' on this sacred ground
Comin' on this sacred ground
