On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 

I hear the thunder calling 
The law is carved in stone 
All hopes and dreams in ardor 
Nailed to a golden throne 
My feet are sore and burning 
I'm coming from afar 
A million years divided 
But still we're made of stars 

We are still waiting while we're all fading
We are destroying what we're creating, oh-oh 
On this rock! 

On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 

Through all these years of crawling 
I've grown an iron heart 
Through all these times of falling 
I've made rebirth my art 
Here in this my own shelter 
I've born each heavy stone 
Compound the missing pieces 
It's done, I am home! 

We are still waiting while we're all fading
We are destroying what we're creating, oh-oh 
On this rock! 

On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 

We are still waiting while we're all fading, oh-oh-oh 
We are destroying what we're creating, oh-oh 
On this rock! 

On this rock I will build my church 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 
On this rock (we are still waiting) I will build my church (while we're all fading!) 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 
On this rock (we are destroying) I will build my church (what we're creating) 
On this rock I will kill my hurt 
On this rock!
