Past Life (Sinnerman’s Song) Lyrics

[Intro]
In a dream you found a way
Saw your chance to start again
No more living day by day
No more running from the rain
In a dream you found a way
In a dream you found a way
To survive


[Verse 1]
Dream another world
Dream another life
Dream it all away
Dream it never ends dream

[Verse 2]
You must not sacrifice your children to Moloch
You must not sacrifice your children to The Worm
You must not allow yourself to be a passenger
In someone else's dreams

[Verse 3]
For you will live to see another land
And you will live to walk another road
You will live to drink from the well of human kindness
Drink, child, drink
[Verse 4]
And you will find a way
Everything will find a way
Everything will find a way
To survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, fill me with your love
I'll open myself up
But Lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?

[Chorus]
Tell me how to keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith

[Verse 5]
Dream another world child
Dream another life child
Dream a pair of wings
Dream you never wake up

[Verse 6]
And together the ants will conquer the elephant
Together man walking hand in hand will conquer the worm
Set fire to this cathedral of hatred
That we lust at the top of the world
[Breakdown]
Lord! I know you're gonna save me
Oh Lord! I know you're gonna save my soul
I know you're gonna save me, oh Lord!

[Bridge]
You are an architectural model for something beyond yourself
You are not an angel, you are not infinite
Your feet will blister from the walk to the well of human kindness
You will wonder if you made the right choice
You will miss your bed
You will wonder if this was meant for you

[Spoken outro]
This morning, our cat walked into the kitchen and dropped a worm at my feet. Its claws had ripped the small pink thing in two: two worms, now racing each other back towards the garden door and the mud. I kneeled down at the side of the small twitching things and gathered them in my palms. I walked out into the garden and lowered my hands to the wet earth. "Life is beautiful", I said. Life is very beautiful. Then I opened my hands and the worm crawled out. And then... I opened my eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
