David Wirsig Kaden
A fire burns in the churchyard
The chemicals conjured from lies
A candlelit room is as dark as a tomb
The gasoline sputters and dies
The delegate stands on the altar
Screaming the truth through blind eyes
"the moment we're paid all your troubles will fade"
The world hangs its head from outside
They can't understand why these rules and demands
Are the source of the water of life
'Cause all they can see is the man on TV
Begging for one more soul to indict
Ah, but I thought you were here for the show
So I'll give you a song and dance tonight
We move o'er the ground like we're not here at all
Sanctioned off by the laws we abide
We promise to pray, shake your hand, walk away
Never once will we look in your eye
Ah, but I thought you were here for the show
So I'll give you a song and dance tonight
A fire is burning in Kaden
Awakening light in my eyes
My soul is in bloom, is entirely consumed
As the flames stretch their arms towards the skies
