lyrics

Meet You in the Sunrise

I will meet You in the sunrise
I will meet You in the air
I will lay my burden upon You
I’ll be leavin’ without care
I’ll be leavin’ without care

I will see You, double-blade tongue
Eyes of fire, snowy hair
I will cast my glory beneath You
If I have any glory there
If I have any glory there

Quakin’ earth and rattlin’ bones
Tore asunder, stood to see
When the only spotless Lamb
‘Stood the wrath of God for me
‘Stood the wrath of God for me

I will meet You in the sunrise
I will meet You in the air
I behold the Bridegroom a-comin’
And these toppled gates of Hell
And these toppled gates of Hell

about

Doug Burr Denton, Texas

"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
