La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Reach out to the dark
Reach further than you've ever gone
Palpable insecurity leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
There's a resin that glues all the cracks together
Spoiled forever and marked for death
A metropolitan wasteland, and I'm the king
I stayed behind when the world moved on
'Cause I knew I could make it come back to life
If only I'd known the difference; pride and persistence
And in retrospect I know what started it all
Oh, it's the poison
Oh, it's the medicine
Oh, the elixir
Oh, the addiction
If I reach out and take what's mine
Am I just tempting fate again?
Liquor turns the blood thinner
Makes my skin thicker
Trying to keep myself inebriated
Chemical compounds to remedy all that I see through
Distorting my vision and bending the truth
Bending the rules that I set myself
Make myself sick
I make myself sick
I tried to cure it
Self inflicted and self prescribed
If I reach out and take what's mine
Am I just tempting fate again?
