Was There Nothing? lyrics

Was there nothing but the hush of night?

Had a boat, don't remember where

Did you flee from what was said and seen?

Truth's not true under the light of lies

Raise your sword and shield

Was there more than just the prose of night?

Had a grave, don't remember where

Beaten down, now I lift up my prayer

Broken promises have set the snare

Both sincere and not

Was there nothing but the blessed night?

Had some gold, don't remember where

When does faith lift up its head so high?

Oh my Lord, won't you please tell me why?

Faith bestows power

Was there nothing but the hush of night?

Had a treasure, but I don't know where

Did you flee from what was said and seen?

Yes, the good was not without the bad

Raise your sword and shield

Yes, the good was not without the bad

Raise up your sword and shield
