Alan Guno - Magdalene lyrics

Can this life be what you wanted Can you wake from dreams that haunt your mind Can the tears that stain the desert Wash away the darkness that you find Hide from your burning secrets From your smoldering shame Magdalene Banished from grace like the sands from the well Here in this place between Heaven and Hell Lies Magdalene And the wasteland beckons to your Sacred visions that have gone unnamed Pa**ions lost on paths so barren Innocence is vanquished in your pain Shame – They can read your mind now Birds of prey taking flight Magdalene Blown like the sands in the desert you fell Here in this land between Heaven and Hell Cries Magdalene Behold the life that awaits you But it’s an empty life - an empty life. No! Lift your eyes to the stars now Sing the old hymns of redemption again If the skies rained down with mercy Would you believe in me then The stones will be thrown At the shame that you own But hold on - hold on for what awaits you When a fateful morning will end your exile and bring you mercy Have mercy, mercy for Magdalene Magdalene Banished from grace like the sands from the well Here in this place between Heaven and Hell Rises Magdalene Behold the tomb that awaits you But it’s an empty tomb – an empty tomb. Oh!
