|
The world stares silently at us |
|
The world stares as we turn to dust |
|
There's no succor for the saved |
|
There's no hand of God to trust |
|
There's nothing here |
|
There's nothing there |
|
Oh, there's nothing anywhere |
|
We stand at the center of the play |
|
We stare at the saints and holy blood |
|
We watch as the heavens fade |
|
And death dons a mask of lust |
|
There's nothing here |
|
There's nothing there |
|
Oh, there's nothing anywhere |
|
Oh, the blessed; the well-behaved |
|
They cannot be the same as us |
|
I watch, but I cannot believe |
|
The soft spine of trust |
