"Altars Over Stages" lyrics

"Sir they've all gone off to him"
I said to that baptizer
We sat and watched his friends
Leave him in the dust
"It's a cold world
And we all just need the son"
He said with a smile

I choose Altars over stages
Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages

Even angels in the sky
Can fall down to the depths
Clip their wings with their pride
And rot what's in their chest
The funny thing about pride
Is that you have it all your life
But the moment you think you don't
Its gotten in your eyes
Has it gotten in my eyes?

I choose Altars over stages
Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
And I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages

I choose Altars over stages
Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Cause heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages
