Lyrics Across The Sun

Across The Sun

A Place To Lodge

They say to err is human

And to forgive is divine

What if man fancies

And does himself enshrine

Take care in where you

Make your bed

Take care in where you

Lay your head

Wolves conspire and scheme

They dance in sheep's wool

And admire deceitful dreams

From which truth they cull

A smile complete with dimples

All make for good show

Grins hold a value of dual intent

John Q waves back

With apprehension in tow

Breathe deep and accept

Every sin has a scent

The taller the building

The taller the shade

Ticker tape parades

Help ideals degrade

You contribute yourself

To an unholy alliance.

Against the author of ages

Armed with requisite defiance.

So its true that sheep know the sound

Of their own Shepard's voice.

And even when far can be

Found if be their choice.

Remember the from the fiery furnace

The righteous were delivered un-singed.

And in to that furnace went

The wicked serpent led.

You call yourselves free

But the cost is your

Immortal soul

You call yourselves free

Have your hearts turned to coal?

Out of the blue

Atop their head

Dipped in red

Boast of the dead

Such high degrees scorch

Its got too hot to stay

Writhing flame tongues torch

To soften and mold clay

Remember that from the fiery furnace

The righteous were delivered un-singed.

And in to that furnace went

The wicked serpent led.

When righteous fury came unhinged

You call yourselves free

So define for me this freedom

I pray that you see

That its only fabricated freedom

Free from nothing

The taller the building

The taller the shade

Ticker tape parades

Help ideals degrade

The taller the building

The taller the shade

We will all turn our heads

If were well paid

Participants within

Away you must steer

Writhing flame tongues torch

To soften and mold stairs

To the firmament
