The Golden Sea (Last Words of Daniel Plainview)
Music and Lyrics by Sarah Lynn Fisher
lyrics
millions of years have passed before today
and thousands of times I have kneeled to pray
but the path to salvation disappeared
the moment I touched what I revered
I set my worn boots outside the door
and wash my hands of dirt and oil
but no water on this earth could ever cleanse
the tarnish from my soul enough to make amends
and nothing can describe
how I've lived cause I have died
when I touched that golden sea
and it swallowed all the faith inside of me
I'm lonelier now than I have ever been
cause I needed fortune for my only friend
but fortune is a fickle friend indeed
she leaves you oh so alone in your time of need
but strangely enough I do not feel afraid
cause I know just how a foolish heart behaves
it sinks into your chest just like a stone
poisons your lungs and chills your bones
and nothing can describe
how I've lived cause I have died
when I touched that golden sea
and it swallowed all the good inside of me
I'm telling you now what I could never say
cause I know the devil will soon take me away
to a place where my sins burn bright and long
with a fire so hot and a pain so strong
and nothing can describe
how I've lived cause I have died
when I touched that golden sea
and it swallowed all the hope inside of me...
and blinded the way to Galilee...
and cut my heart and watched it bleed...
