Relic

Someone’s laughing somewhere

As the saints come marching in

Pitter patter, splitter splatter

Your faith is wearing thin

Promise of a new day

Brings compulsion to vomit

Silent dust in the eye of god

Who’s the relic on my sister’s neck

Next, next

Revelations pondered

In the corner child sits

Glory be destiny

Ethics pale cold steel to wrists

Your disease is rampant

Disciple dogs smell a funeral feast

Gather round all ye angels of light

The accuser’s decided to treat

Now can’t you see - nobody’s home

Now can’t you see - nobody’s home

Legions move swiftly over the fields

Chasing the thoughts of we the brethren

Who stand upon your shores of knowledge

Waiting to see with eyes past

Waiting to dance with angels chained

For we are one - one in the same

No - it’s just flesh - it’s just flesh

Watcher seeks the lonely

Takes the hand of a chosen few

Messenger why the tear in your eye

At thirteen I was dying for you

Now can’t you see - nobody’s home

Now can’t you see - nobody’s home

There’s just nothing to save
