Joseph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun come down on me now.
Warm this cold, cold heart of mine.
Troubles come and troubles go.
May I see light through tired eyes.
I will lift up my eyes to the sky, to the sky.
I will lift up my eyes to the sky, to the sky...
Give me grace and give me peace
Be a constant fire that draws me higher;
Burn up the despair that's been sinking me.
BURN UP THE DESPAIR THAT'S BEEN SINKING ME.
I will lift up my eyes to the sky, to the sky.
I will lift up my eyes to the sky, to the sky...
Be a constant fire that draws me higher,
Burn up the despair that's been sinking me
Burn up the despair that's been sinking me
Burn up the despair that's been sinking me.

I am a die hard metal head... But these beautiful ladies steal my heart with their beautiful voices. I got my tickets to see them in Minneapolis on the 29th. Cannot wait.

same. I enjoy Gojira, dying fetus, meshuggah, mastodon etc etc. These girls strike the same chord but from a different angle.
