• Name your revelation
    Your favorite contradiction
    What you'll hang your life by
    Our heightened aspiration
    And then raise it to the stars
    Bring it to the field
    Hail it as your king
    Disguise it as our shield
    Ring its rotten neck
    Build it as your home
    Love it like your young
    Or make it all your own
    We are all born
    With original sin
    Us who feel hearts torn
    Deep beneath the skin
    Minding the wicked
    And forsaking the hope
    All is for not
    And so is your soul
    Damn your hateful reasons
    To all they're worth for treason
    Life can't be so sacred
    If it changes like the seasons
    So put it out of sight
    To all the untrained eyes
    Place it out of reach
    Of all the outstretched cries
    Keep it in the dark
    So it'll never see the light
    Push it in the dirt
    So it'll never get to rise
    We are all born
    With original peace
    Us who feel evil mourn
    Among all the beat
    Saving the righteous
    And calling on the hope
    To all who pray
    Forget that I know.
