lyrics

Ransom the captive heart
Squander what modest fortune you’ve managed to cling onto
Upturn the temple tills
Whatever it takes, if the bank’s gotta break, let nothing stop you
Scatter the gathered coins

In the end, what’s left unspent will only rob you

Why can’t I even cry

Heaven knows how hard I try

These pilfered tears just aren’t enough
To quell the thirst that’s welling up

Under the covered bridge

The thrill is gone, the kingdom long overdue

The blessed empties raise a toast

To wisdom the prophets and sniveling sophists overlooked
The dirty rainbow-colored coats

That sent your beloved once-removed cousin over the moon

Powers of speech, don’t fail me now
Bereft, I’m left to live without

The shades of earth that others use
To cover up the right to choose

And the devil’s losing ground

I feel him loosening power over me
Growing stronger everyday

It's a tragedy that’s played in two parts

Living, dying mother earth

Bringing forth, flowering, fading into nothing

Radiant beams of dawn

Rosy fingers stretching tighter round the neck of darkness
Ransom the captive heart

Serving its sentence in vain apprehension of an end

Oh Jehova, smoke and guns
Moon and stars forsook the sun
Hearken, Gabriel’s rusted horn
All ye soon to be unborn
All this innerwork’s wearing me out

The sinner talk coming about

Woe is me, Lord have mercy on us all
Locked behind the seven walls of self regard

And the devil’s losing now

I feel him loosening power over me

Growing stronger everyday
I
t's a tragedy that’s played in two parts

Act I: sell your soul to feel free

Act II: buy it back at an outrageous fee

Spend eternity waiting for an Act III that never comes
