Текст песни And a God Descended (Dar Williams) с переводом

«Step through this trampled wall

The unhinged door betrays it all

That far within our faith we were all waiting

The broken glass reflects the haze

It shines like endless holy days

Struggling to remember what they’re celebrating

Well, a God descended

And the reason ended

His life was lifted just above the law

And now we have to live with what we did

With what we saw

Well, you mend your clothes and patch your roof

And slivers of God’s shattered truth

Grow tender as the grass in clean-swept yards

But a savior came and told us how

The truth was all around us now

Abandon house and field and gather up the shards

Well, you build your faith with strength and duty

Build your love but there’s a beauty

Well you know the scriptures tell

There are a few shards left in hell

And if we want a god we had to follow, follow him down

Pictures torn out of their frames

And orgies where we lost our names

All were gone with time’s real desire

Well, you ask how God can curse you thus

That’s not a question asked by us

We burned our beds and books

We fear we’ve lost the fire
