I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

 

 

hmmm maybe I have something....chains, devil, cross, city walls,etc

(The hunt thread that is)

I'm always up for a good mock hunt, and this has been great so far. I just got done slogging (which is hard when PF is being whacky). I'll go with the consensus and say IM, but I'm not completely set on it.

Clue #9

This is how the ghastly story goes:


Embalmed so not to decompose
Then under rushes the pine box lay
A young boy found him, no decay
A grisly yield from this watery grave
Was it MURDER? became all the rave
Just "bleaching his bones" was finally proclaimed


So let dem bones alone and don't disturb them
A passage will show you the true way
Remember, if an eerie fog or wind blows
That crime didn't pay from the first bank that day
And watch out for an outlaw to transpose
