John Mark McMillan - Holy Ghost [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Who are we sometimes I wonder
Mercenaries or lovers
On this side of the thunder
It can be awful hard to know

[Verse 2]
Sell our love for the paycheck or
Spend the night on the freight deck
For all the dues that we collect
Our hearts can be overdrawn

[Chorus]
Dead in the water
Like lamb to the slaughter
If the wind doesn’t sing her song
And I’m speaking in tongues
Cause I need a Holy Ghost

[Verse 3]
The geeks they can smell when you’re coming
Even out in the cold
They’ll wait you out yeah
They’ll grind you down
But they’re gonna get what they’re owed

[Verse 4]
I know the red thread unravels
I know you’re blue and you’re black
But there’s still time if you don’t mind
The way that the odds are stacked

[Chorus]
