Either/Or Lyrics
Oh have you ever just stood there
And let the wind kiss your hair?
And put your head in a lion's mouth
But you didn't feel scared
Oh well I've stood there trembling
And still and will always be there
All the things I've hated, I've been before
I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor
I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door
Believe they wait, they hear your voice.
Oh, have you ever just stood there,
And watched the sun touch the land?
And reached down really slow
Just to kiss the forest sand.
Oh, well I've stood there smiling
And still, and will always be there.
All the things I've hated, I've been before
I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor
I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door
Believe they wait, they hear your voice.
All the things I've loved I've been before,
I've picked myself up off the floor
And heard the dawn break against the door
And known and believed it was something
More like a voice less like a noise
More like a soul less like a void
And you can learn to live without it
But your hearts gonna stay torn
And you can try hard not to need it
But you'll want it more and more
Its like the calm before the storm
OF COURSE
And let the wind kiss your hair?
And put your head in a lion's mouth
But you didn't feel scared
Oh well I've stood there trembling
And still and will always be there
I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor
I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door
Believe they wait, they hear your voice.
And watched the sun touch the land?
And reached down really slow
Just to kiss the forest sand.
Oh, well I've stood there smiling
And still, and will always be there.
I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor
I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door
Believe they wait, they hear your voice.
I've picked myself up off the floor
And heard the dawn break against the door
And known and believed it was something
More like a voice less like a noise
More like a soul less like a void
But your hearts gonna stay torn
And you can try hard not to need it
But you'll want it more and more
Its like the calm before the storm
OF COURSE

the sound and music and preston's voice are great, but WSO would be a lot better if they would tone-down the god-related lyrical content. not everyone is religious.. i wonder if christian bands ever realize that they are losing potential listeners/fans this way
I totally understand your point about christian bands, but you have to keep in mind that they probalby wrote christian music because that is where thier inspiration for writing came from. They may feel that it is important enough to them that that is the only thing that they see as worth writing about, even if that means a smaller fan base. It's also possible that a band wants to expose people to these sort of religious concepts with their music, arguably this can be rather ineffective in that it can alienate everyone accept people who have...

It's also possible that a band wants to expose people to these sort of religious concepts with their music, arguably this can be rather ineffective in that it can alienate everyone accept people who have already been exposed to it. It's kind of an interesting issue in general but my point is I'm not sure it would make a band like WSO better to omit thier beliefs from thier music when in all likelyhood thier music was inspired by thier beliefs. They certianly didn't accidentally write about it anyway.
Either way its a shame that WSO isn't making music anymore.
