Footfalls Paroles

disposed by nothing
promised in light

I was drawn in
a moth to a flame
I was a pawn in
an unprincipled game
belief and need
the dagger and shield
truth, word and deed
the arms that we wield

Footfalls that I hear
footfalls in the night
in the beat of my heart
or do the come for me?
footfalls that I hear
footfalls in the night
the wind is at my back
here they come for me the words of my name
science and art
the dagger and shield
prayer and heart
the arms that we wield

Footfalls that I hear
in each beat of my heart
footfalls in the night
here they come for me
footfalls that I hear
in each beat of my heart
footfalls in the night
...they come for me.
