Bearhound - Halo

Was it blood, or was it rain,
That had filled the earth with slain
For violence had laid claim to every man's name
For who on earth was watching
When heaven fell to hell
For alas, I have been trapped
In the belly of the whale
And who on earth was listening
When the churchyard rang her bells
I have covered up thy graves
And stopped up every well
Was it blood, or were they tears,
That had fallen from fear
For the bitter would be sweet
If a hope would draw near
But who on earth was touching
When Thomas stayed his hand
What measure of belief
Could unmake the man I am
And who on earth was speaking
When the speechless had been damned
Oh, I bathe beneath the blood
Of every sacrificial lamb
Why have all the good things gone away to dreams
For my flesh is left with scars that tear apart at every seam
Set fire to all the forests and cut down every tree
Doth thou not see we're wounded and fallen on our knees
There's a scab on my head from the halo that fled
When the childlike angel had left me for dead
Who's gonna tuck me into my bed
Who's gonna tuck me in
I've been measured
I've been weighed
I've been found wanting
Unworthy of your grace
