lyrics

A setting day a way to find
a moment's peace for my weary mind
A fleeting thought in film exposed
Celluloid burns skin superimposed

Awaken to a world shrouded in lies
Sunday morning blues, masses euthanized
Church bells ring, stained windows lie broken
Daggers withdrawn, don't follow the reverent
Don't follow the reverent

Try and try to understand
why the blood of the lord
fuels bigots and men
Time after time I look up and wonder
Are we living in hell
Pain, death here forever

We've burned this bridge a thousand times
Stepping lightly in a field of mines
Path we've walked fill me with sorrow
No love in my heart no hope for tomorrow
No hope for tomorrow
