Hallowed Ground

W.A.S.P.

Come and take me down
The dark beyond
And take me there
Where I come from

Take me down to the place where I will kneel
And let me lay my shadow down
In through the eyes of a child’s inner me
No pain to heal my bloodied brow

There is no rain to save this silent dawn
There is no rain to save at all
There is no rain to save this silent ground
There is no rain to save at all


Chorus-
Oh father take me
To where I lay me down
On hallowed ground
Oh the sky is falling
And I don’t know where my home is now
My hallowed ground
Oh and can you take me
For I have tasted hallowed ground
Oh all around


Bridge-
Father, do you hear me
This pain will not cry out loud
Father, I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbound


Chorus
