Lyrics
Jacobs Ladder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The aid from down below means a descent from the highest high to the lowest low; a power to save the world is in the hands.
At the root a moral decay because sometimes the greatest good is served with the help of the misunderstood.
So lay down the piety and accept the darkness, fulfill the need let the shadows in, chase out all the light.
I clearly can see now the evil is not the blight a pact with the devil so necessitated to do the work of the angel.
So wipe away the tears that have been shed for an impotent Christ. Let the shadows in chase out all the light I clearly can see now the evil is not the blight. Something about noble sacrifice is altogether quaint but nothing is more pathetic than too much self-restraint.
Abandon the sunny meadow and head into the woods and finally do away with all that is good.
