Lyrics
A Great Divide
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.
It rose before they even noticed
Another pyramid devised
On top a sleepless eye
Below they wondered why
They failed to strike at the foundation
And either way it's suicide
A loss unless they climb
Lie back or cross a great divide
Can't see the city from the high rise
Stay where it's safe and warm inside
Sustain the artifice
Paying for what we missed
Protection from the dangers outside
And with our backs against a wall
You're not like you you're me
What's left here for us to decide
Who fights a faith deep as an ocean
And here they say truth used to lie
The priests are keeping score
A tautological chore
And every tiny armageddon
Will bring us closer to the shore
Relieved when they arrive
Maybe we'll cross the a great divide
Crooked empire declining
Recess secession still in mind
Who stops this poison crack from growing
Dreams die watched through slanted glass below the canyon's yawning
With every backwards step march forward
And reassess the battle cry
Champion the wise
Tear off the wolf's disguise
The case was stated we're related
The case was made and we're elated
The case was stated, we relayed it
The case was made and we're related
What's left here to decide
