A Velvet Resurrection Lyrics

Legendary Pink Dots A Velvet Resurrection

I want to believe in the nobility of the human spirit. I
want to believe that mankind is essentially good and that
the horror I see and the horrors I hear about are simply
the last crisis of a dying spectre that has haunted our
fragile globe for just to long. I want to believe that we
are about to peel off the mask with which this spiteful
god has been frightening us. I want to believe that we
will not dance on his defeated rotting body for that
would grant him victory in death. I want to believe that
we will peel away the masks with which we frighten each
other. I want to believe that no new spectre will replace
the one that died and that we can stand alone and respect
one another love one another? respect and cherish life in
all its shapes and sizes while continuing to evolve. I
want to believe that mankind will never be too arrogant
to abandon it's quest for the ultimate answer. I want to
believe that even I could answer this question. I want to
believe all of these things? But you caught me at a bad
moment and I can't.
