Magdalene Lyrics

Can this life be what you wanted

Can you wake from dreams that haunt your mind

Can the tears that stain the desert

Wash away the darkness that you find

Hide from your burning secrets

From your smoldering shame

Magdalene

Banished from grace like the sands from the well

Here in this place between Heaven and Hell

Lies Magdalene

And the wasteland beckons to your

Sacred visions that have gone unnamed

Passions lost on paths so barren

Innocence is vanquished in your pain

Shame – They can read your mind now

Birds of prey taking flight

Magdalene

Blown like the sands in the desert you fell

Here in this land between Heaven and Hell

Cries Magdalene

Behold the life that awaits you

But it’s an empty life - an empty life. No!

Lift your eyes to the stars now

Sing the old hymns of redemption again

If the skies rained down with mercy

Would you believe in me then

The stones will be thrown

At the shame that you own

But hold on - hold on for what awaits you

When a fateful morning will end your exile and bring you mercy

Have mercy, mercy for Magdalene

Magdalene

Banished from grace like the sands from the well

Here in this place between Heaven and Hell

Rises Magdalene

Behold the tomb that awaits you

But it’s an empty tomb – an empty tomb. Oh!
