Foreigner's God

She moved with shameless wonder The perfect creature rarely seen Since some liar brought the thunder When the land was godless and free Her eyes look sharp and steady Into the empty parts of me But still my heart is heavy With the hate of some other man's beliefs Always a well dressed fraud Who wouldn't spare the rod Never for me Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God The purest expression of grief Wondering who I copy Mustering some tender charm She feels no control of her body She feels no safety in my arms I've no language left to say it But all I do is quake to her Breaking if I try convey it The broken love I make to her All that I've been taught And every word I've got Is foreign to me Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God The purest expression of grief Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God The purest expression of grief Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God Screaming the name of a foreigner's God The purest expression of grief
