about

An ode to atheism. Love the instrumentation at the finale.

lyrics

Held up to the light


For those who live in cloisters and those who wear the mantles,
And give up to the altars, and burn things in my street
They give me packaged answers and pay the temple dancers
And warn against the temptress and try to make believe

I held up to the light, the book of all fears
And found it empty, yet full of your tears
Full of your tears

For those who live in dungeons and fear the strikes of truncheons,
And sudden stings of serpents, you have my warm regards
I know you love this drama, you pay dear for this piper,
With all your worldly paper, and all your playing cards

I held up to the light, the book of all dreams
And found it empty, yet full of your screams
I held up to the light, the book of all fears
And found it empty, yet full of your tears
Full of your tears
