David Gray - Sacred Ground (Alt Version) Lyrics

David Gray Lyrics

"Sacred Ground (Alt Version)"

Dressed in only tar and feathers
Naked of all vanities
As the searchlights
Burst like doves through the windows
Lead me to my victory

Build a city in the mouth of a furnace
Feed the fire and melt it down
In the ancient hush descending
Coming on this sacred ground

Like a whale's heart pumping lifeblood
Through its veins as thick as trees
Let the spirit flood our mouths and our fingers
For to haul us from our knees

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

Nobody, oh, nobody will be denied
Oh, nobody, oh, nobody will be denied
Nobody, oh, nobody will be denied

Coming on this sacred ground
Coming on this sacred ground
Coming on this sacred ground
Coming on this sacred ground
