Altars Over Stages

ir they've all gone off to him" I said to that baptizer We sat and watched his friends Leave him in the dust "It's a cold world And we all just need the son" He said with a smile I chose Altars over stages Cause heaven is my wages I don't need the spotlight So make me a silhouette I won't fret I don't care You can take me anywhere Heaven is my wages I chose Altars over stages Even angels in the sky Can fall down to the depths Clip their wings with their pride And rot whats in their chest The funny thing about pride Is that you have it all your life But the moment you think you dont Its gotten in your eyes Has it gotten in my eyes? I chose Altars over stages Cause heaven is my wages I don't need the spotlight So make me a silhouette I won't fret I don't care You can take me anywhere Heaven is my wages I chose Altars over stages I chose Altars over stages Cause heaven is my wages I don't need the spotlight So make me a silhouette I won't fret I don't care You can take me anywhere Heaven is my wages I chose Altars over stages
