18 Bullet Holes

18 bullet holes in the body of a priest
 They say he was eating a hot dog when the ammunition was released.
 They say he was always fat and lazy but he was an awfully nice guy.
 That's just one more death to show you you never know when you're gonna die.
 You might be facing the beast
 Sometimes, God, I feel like I'm living in a bone grinding mill
 And every time I hear the sound I can barely stand still
 It's a thing I can't quite make out sometimes but it seems to keep getting louder-
 One more body from the valley of the dry bones getting ground up into powder
 Against Your holy will
 Oh, God, it hurts so bad to love anybody down here
 Why don't You come and help me out?
 Cause I can't even see clear
 The funny thing about the way a girl gets destroyed
 About the way that deal goes down
 Is that everybody pretty much sees it coming at the sister
 From all the way across town
 And she isn't always blinded, she isn't always far astray
 She just might not be thinking, she might be having a bad day
 But when you choose, you choose, and when you drown, you drown
 Last night I dreamed that You swallowed me into Yourself
 And I was floating on the sea inside
 When I landed on the shore, I saw all these people that I thought had died
 I hadn't seen some of them for ages
 They had left without a single word
 And when I said something to them, not a single one of them had heard
 They were all looking right through everything like it wasn't even there
 Some were full of anger, some full of fear
 And then I recognized that something very sad
 But very beautiful was happening right here
 They were all caught outside standing alone in a very heavy rain
 And when a raindrop landed on my tongue
 I didn't need You to explain
 That these were Your tears
 Oh, God, it hurts so bad to love anybody down here
 Oh, that's right, You know so well
 One thorny crown, three nails, and a spear
