Words get written, words get twisted |
|
Old meanings move in the drift of time |
|
Lift the flickering torches, see gentle shadows change |
|
The features of the faces cut in unmoving stone |
|
Bad mouth on a prayer day |
|
Hope no one's listening |
|
Roots down in the wet clay |
|
Branches glistening |
|
True disciples carrying that message |
|
To color just a little with their personal touch |
|
Home-spun fancy weavers and naked half believers |
|
Crusades and creeds descend like fiery flakes of snow |
|
Bad mouth on a prayer day |
|
Hope no one's listening |
|
Roots down in the wet clay |
|
Branches glistening |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
In wet and windy priest holes, grand in vast cathedrals |
|
High on lofty minarets or in a temples of doom |
|
I hope the old man's got his face on |
|
He'd better be some quick change artist |
|
Suffer little children to make their minds up soon |
|
Bad mouth on a prayer day |
|
Hope no one's listening |
|
Roots down in the wet clay |
|
Branches glistening |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
|
Roots to branches |
