Where Could It Be?

from Ancient Fire by Jake Shane

/

lyrics

In the beginning there was God, then Eden, Adam, Eve
At least that’s what you used to tell me you believed
Those were the days when death never came
And no one did anything anyone else could blame
That was the first and last time everybody got along
And even then it didn’t take too long for everything to go wrong
The blood Cain tasted was bitter but it was free
Now we have no choice but to bear the agony
Oh where, oh where, could it be, that long lost harmony?

The sentimentalists are searching among the wreckage
of the past
As if anything they find they will really want to last
And the godless claim they’re clever but know that they are not
Because they’ve lost all direction without any ‘should’ or ‘ought’
You are still waiting for Him to return with the law
But I heard He already came back and didn’t much like
what He saw
What good is hell, my brother, for crimes already done?
Why wouldn’t a good God prevent every single one?
Oh where, oh where, could it be, that long lost harmony?

In the end nobody knows but now everything means so much
I guess that’s how it goes when you’ve got this human crutch
You say you feel a presence deep down forever unknown
Well some things are better when they’re left alone
And while nobody is listening, brother let me tell this to you
I have no idea if anything I’ve ever said is true
But when I’m beneath the cypress tree all dirt and bone
And you come singing softly like a river over stone
Oh there, oh there, it will be, that long lost harmony
