Withering Sign Of The Lamb

If I never knew such love
Do you ever think that I would draw my blood?
And if I never knew this land
Do you think that I would know where I stand?

But if I wait until the end
I am the withering sign of the lamb
And if I fall, and I don’t stand
I am the withering sign of the lamb

And if I never knew your heart
Do you think that we would have a fair start?
And if I never knew your hands
Would I really be the same man I am?

But if I wait until the end
I am the withering sign of the lamb
And if I starve, and I don’t stand
I am the withering sign of the lamb
I’ve seen this before, I don’t understand
I am the only one here still damned

'Cause if I wait until the end
I am the withering sign of the lamb
But if I wait until the end
I am the withering sign of the lamb

And if I fall, and I don’t stand
I am the withering sign of the lamb
I’ve seen this before, I don’t understand
I am the only one here still damned
'Cause if I wait until the end
I am the withering sign of the lamb
