No Resurrection
Unveiling Life's Shadows: No Resurrection by Andy Squyres
Lyrics
Only prayer that I know
The only prayer I'm familiar with
Curse the damned highway patrol
Expressing frustration or anger towards law enforcement
When the wind is all you have to sow
When all you have to give or offer is the wind (nothing substantial)
You reap the whirlwind
You suffer severe consequences for your actions
Knuckles white headed south
Gripping tightly while heading in a southern direction
Can't avoid the slaughter house
Unable to avoid a place or situation of mass slaughter
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
Do not be critical or skeptical of a gift or opportunity
When your light is growing dim
When your life or vitality is fading
Bury my afflictions
Let my troubles be buried
With my unrighteous years
With the years where I behaved wrongly or sinfully
I don't want no resurrection
I don't desire any revival or return from death
To raise any of my tears
I don't want my sorrows or sadness to be brought back
Send no angel to me
Don't send any heavenly messenger to me
At the eleventh hour
At the last possible moment
Just swing a little lower for me
Just lower something for me slightly
Chariot of fire
Symbolic reference to a divine conveyance associated with fire
What's a liar gonna do
What actions will a dishonest person take?
Finally try to tell the truth
Finally attempting to speak the truth
Like foil inside my ragged tooth
Comparing truth to something hidden inside a decayed tooth
Like a wasp inside my mouth
Like an aggravating presence inside one's mouth
Bury my afflictions
Let my troubles be buried
With my unrighteous years
With the years where I behaved wrongly or sinfully
I don't want no resurrection
I don't desire any revival or return from death
To raise any of my tears
I don't want my sorrows or sadness to be brought back
Send no angel to me
Don't send any heavenly messenger to me
At the eleventh hour
At the last possible moment
Just swing a little lower for me
Just lower something for me slightly
Chariot of fire
Symbolic reference to a divine conveyance associated with fire
Too late to be circumspect
It's too late to be cautious or careful
Too deep on the razor's edge
In too deep on a precarious situation
I am sober as a judge
Being as clear-minded and serious as a judge
And the verdict's coming down
The final decision is imminent
Bury my afflictions
Let my troubles be buried
With my unrighteous years
With the years where I behaved wrongly or sinfully
I don't want no resurrection
I don't desire any revival or return from death
To raise any of my tears
I don't want my sorrows or sadness to be brought back
Send no angel to me
Don't send any heavenly messenger to me
At the eleventh hour
At the last possible moment
Just swing a little lower for me
Just lower something for me slightly
Chariot of fire
Symbolic reference to a divine conveyance associated with fire
