The Bones Of An Idol |
We’re lit by a torch |
As we kneel in the court of the king |
As we sift through the bones of an idol |
We dig for the bones of an idol |
When the will is gone |
Because something keeps turning us on |
You hold up the cup |
You’ve been searching for since you were young |
When you still had the bones of an idol |
If you still had the bones of an idol |
You’d be long long gone |
But something keeps turning you on |
You cling to the raft we are missing |
By half what we wanted |
But we escaped with the bones of an idol |
Escaped with the belt and the title |
But our land is gone |
And something keeps turning us on |
