Faith Healer
Faith's Temptation: A Revelry in Liberation
Lyrics
You’re stumbling like the Nazarene
You are faltering, resembling the Nazarene (Jesus).
You've cast your gaze to high
You have set your sights too high.
The rapture you seek is found below and it’s been denied.
The ecstasy you desire is below, but it has been withheld or denied.
You're stunning, just like a Philistine
You are impressive, akin to a Philistine (an ancient people).
You’re wasting precious time
You are wasting valuable time.
Shake off that chill of Heaven and come rest your weary eyes
Shed the celestial coldness and find solace for your tired eyes.
You’ve been wandering, searching for Him forever
You have been aimlessly searching for Him endlessly.
Just take some respite here, and if He shows,
Rest here, and if He appears, we'll converse with Him together.
We’ll talk to Him together
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Expression of disbelief or emphasis on the following statement.
If you come down, down, down
If you descend, I know of a minor transgression we can pursue.
I know a little sin to which we can aspire
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Similar to line 12, emphasizing the subsequent statement.
When you come down, down, down
Upon descent, retreat into yourself, and it will elevate you.
Just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher, higher, higher
You’re a vision, if you could see yourself through my enlightened eyes
You are a magnificent sight, seen through my enlightened perspective.
You’d pull yourself from fantasy and wrap yourself in life
Free yourself from illusions and immerse in reality.
You’ve been suffering, bound to Him forever
You have been enduring bondage to Him for too long.
We’ll have your release here, and when we go, we’ll take His name
We will grant your liberation here, and when we depart, we'll take His name.
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Emphasis or disbelief, repeating line 12.
If you come down, down, down
If you descend, there is a minor transgression we can pursue.
I know a little sin to which we can aspire
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Similar to line 24, emphasizing the following statement.
When you come down, down, down
Upon descent, withdraw into yourself for elevation.
Just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher,
Does he ever speak to you like I do?
Is He communicating with you in a manner similar to me?
Does he ever speak to you?
Does he ever speak to you like I do?
Repeat of line 31.
Does he ever speak to you?
Does he ever feel the way that I feel?
Does He experience emotions the way I do?
How does he feel?
How does He feel?
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Reiteration of disbelief or emphasis, repeating line 24.
If you come down, down, down
If you descend, there is a minor transgression we can pursue.
I know a little sin to which we can aspire
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Similar to line 38, emphasizing the following statement.
When you come down, down, down
Upon descent, retreat into yourself for elevation.
Just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Emphasis or disbelief, repeating line 38.
If you come down, down, down
If you descend, there is a secret we can pursue.
I know a little secret which we can aspire
Oh-oh-oh, don’t you know oh oh?
Similar to line 45, emphasizing the following statement.
When you come down, down, down
Upon descent, withdraw into yourself for elevation.
Just crawl back in your skin and it will take you!
