Saints of Old

I wrote this song in about an hour last week. It's one of my favorite songs I have written in a long time. After writing it it got me excited about writing music again!


All the things that I am seeing
Leave me hoping and believing
This is not the end
We are tired and scarred from battle
What of all of this will matter?
What will we defend?

It's been so many years now
Since we had any control
The curtain's finally closed now
It's the end of the show

We are on a train to nowhere
Death is passing by while we stare
Clowns and fools will be our guides
While gods and sciences collide
What's the point of ever knowing
What the saints of old have shown me?
I'll just bite my tongue and carry on
There's nobody here to sing this song

There's a darkness I'm avoiding
Filled with souls that are eroding
I'm not going there
People looking for quick fixes
Hanging on to crucifixes
All these souls to bear

Now they're searching for voices
A voice that knows how to pray
Buried deep in their choices
And they're losing their way

We are on a train to nowhere
Death is passing by while we stare
Clowns and fools will be our guides
While gods and sciences collide
What's the point of ever knowing
What the saints of old have shown me?
I'll just bite my tongue and carry on
There's nobody here to sing this song

Yes I wait
Contemplate
What I hate
Oooo

We are on a train to nowhere
Death is passing by while we stare
Clowns and fools will be our guides
While gods and sciences collide
What's the point of ever knowing
What the saints of old have shown me?
I'll just bite my tongue and carry on
There's nobody here to sing this song

I like it! Now you just need to play it for me so I can hear what it sounds like! :)

Can we make requests for other songs we want on here? If so, I want "What Would Jesus Have Me Do". I absolutely love that song and it makes me tear up every time I hear it.
