Roper - In Excelsis Deo Lyrics
This wooden soul of mineit cannot ever climbfrom places it has fallenin between where light can shineIt never falls in lineit barely has a spinelike branches severed from the vinelike it was faulty by designAnd now your mercy lights up my dark eyesyour brilliant hope now lifts my falling skiesand I'm the object of your affectionYou loved me still in my imperfectionThe sun will shine on winter snowand shadows fade in Excelsis DeoThis wooden soul is oldIt's lies are growing coldits knotted trunk is straighteningits roots are loosening their holdSo cluttered with debristhis inefficient melodyI'll keep waiting patientlyif this world will ever release meYou love me even though I am untrueif I was perfect, I wouldn't need youI'm the object of your affectionYou loved me still in my imperfectionGloria, in excelsis DeoNot so far, not so far to go
