Josiah Queen - Altars Over Stages Lyrics

"Sir 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 choose 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 choose altars over stages

Even angels in the sky Can fall down to the depths Clip their wings with their pride And rot what's in their chest The funny thing about pride Is that you have it all your life But the moment you think you don't Its gotten in your eyes Has it gotten in my eyes?

I choose Altars over stages Cause heaven is my wages I don't need the spotlight So make me a silhouette And I won't fret, I don't care You can take me anywhere Heaven is my wages I choose altars over stages

I choose 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 Cause heaven is my wages I choose altars over stages
