Faithless Aloysius

We brought it out

And put it up against the light

To see what it was made of

Now we can't go back

Faithless Aloysius

The eve is growing nigh

Don't miss your curtain call

Upon the western sky

There on the seaboard

There's a chance you will ignite

Menageries of truth

With a soiled reprise

I know it can't be long

It must be coming soon

I want to know what makes you cry

I want to know what's true

I know you can't be strong

Adulterated proof

I want to know why you still hide

While choirs have gone mute

My shadow grows in spite of me

Dreams travel even when I disappear

My shadow grows in spite of me

Take the burden when I can't go on
