Kaden

from ankle deEP by David Wirsig

/

lyrics

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.
