You know he got the cure
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love
His head it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
A dog started crying
Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
Could see the stars shining
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing
Healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny shiny
From above
Hand in the pocket
Finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love
My love
Saw the hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love
His head it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
A dog started crying
Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
Could see the stars shining
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing
Healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny shiny
From above
Hand in the pocket
Finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love
My love
Saw the hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love

"He saw the hands that build
can also pull down the hands of love"
the hands that build = God
the hands of love = the man, because he was doing it for the one he loves
God stopped him from committing murder.
"He saw the hands that build
can also pull down the hands of love"
the hands that build = God
the hands of love = the man, because he was doing it for the one he loves
God stopped him from committing murder.
He used to stay awake to drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe in the hands of love"
A man who believed in peace and love until he lost someone he loved, he is in pain and still wants to believe in peace and love.
"His head, it felt heavy, as he cut across the land
A dog started crying like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind, at the howling wind"
He is on his way to get revenge on who ever killed his loved one but is very conflicted in his thoughts and feelings and the dog sounds like his own internal cries of pain.
"He went deeper into black, deeper into white
Could see the stars shining like nails in the night
He felt the healing, healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny shiny from above"
"He contemplates the right or wrong of his plan and feelings the guilt of what he about to do and feels that only way to heal to through love not revenge.
"Hand in the pocket, finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel
Was beating, beating, beating, beating
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love"
His guilt make his heart and gun feel heavy but he continues to be in grief and rage.
"My love
"He saw the hands that build
Can also pull down the hands of love"
He sees that the hands and heart which create love and life and can also hate and kill.
