Bold Swimmer 03:35
Now the hungry ghosts are waiting at my table for a feast. They like the way my visions taste. My dreams are oh so sweet. But we must walk like giants. We must take the stand. I will be a bold swimmer reaching for the promiseland. I drove across this country sleeping at the wheel. Searching for a better map and mysteries revealed. And the wind blew down the canyons. The sermons never ceased. I must be my own salvation. I must be my only priest. Times may change and traitors reign. Their stories always stay the same. The blood that’s spilt is never quite their fault. And when we see the damage done, the friendships lost, the smoking guns Will we just turn away? Will we just turn away? I was standing at the crossroads. I was there to make a deal. The offer was most generous All sleek and cold as steel But I burned down my ambition. I turned on my own greed. I have everything I want here. I have everything I need. Now my love and I are waiting at the table for a feast. I like the way my visions taste. My dreams are oh so sweet. And we will walk like giants. We will take a stand. I will be a bold swimmer reaching for the promiseland. I will be a bold swimmer reaching for the promiseland.
