TITLE. LYRICS

Concert version

Wilderness

I travelled far and wide where dwell saints and kings
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed
I travelled far and wide through many different times

I travelled far and wide to prisons of the cross
What did you see there? The power and glory of sin
What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skin
I travelled far and wide through many different times

I travelled far and wide where unknown martyrs died
What did you see there? I saw the one-sided trials
What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes, tears in their eyes
