The Church - The Time Being lyrics

Every day as you notice the sun slips away
A strange turbulence fills the air
Gargoyles and winged monkeys
Descend into the city their teeth are bared
Their claws outstretched down in the pit
I sense the unforgiving night rain
Down on the overworld and it's souls' unrest
As the temptation fades out
You jerk back into yourself
As if falling from a dream
Down comes the rain hot clear rain
Washing away our sins
Washing away the statues of Sharon Stone
Erosion of my solitude begins it's race
And worms finally penetrating the warmth
Of my hiding place
Slithering in the blackness
All their coldness repels me
I use a 45 to give them some stick
Lightning and thunder cause the
Walls to shake
And someone searching through the debris
For the photograph of his wife
Oh, I want life i want it now and forever
I want to rise up out of this
Chamber and clamber into the sky
