There Is A Light - Silver Mt. Zion

Hang on darling

Gentle now

This boy’s lost his thunder

In the dirty clouds

Dull white

Starlite

Pale as the morning falls away

The devil each dawn

And flat greys upon

We’re torn asunder 'neath his gaze

So c’mon ye children

If there’s one thing we know

It’s that those gathering clouds are swinging low

So don’t you be precious

Man don’t you be meek

There ain’t no damn glory in the long retreat

Go call the fuzz

They’ll shine their lights on us

We’ve been building in the dark

There’s so many of us

Now blinking in the light

There’s so many of us

Illuminated and proud

There’s so many of us

But there ain’t no truth but the no truth but the no truth, yeah!

Ain’t no thing but the nothing but the nothing, yeah!

Ain’t no fall but the long fall is a long fall, yeah!

And there ain’t no light but the true light is a dim light, yeah!

But I’ve been waiting and longing for that light to fall all over me

Six and six parsons and he doth proclaim

That the best little bits of us misfits and strays

Make a light in the night that needs to be shamed

All for some none for all, and all fallen the same

And we surrender the stage to those pale horse riders

Those pale horse riders

Those pale horse riders

Go forth, man

Get down

With a mighty fist and a retarded crown

Do the one-step the two-step

Sweet jubilee!

And show me the light, goddamn!

Go forth, man

Get down

With a mighty fist and a retarded crown

Do the one-step the two-step

Sweet jubilee!

And show me the light…

And lay me down in a bed full of rain

There is a light

And there is a light

And there is a light

And there is a light

There is a light

And there is a light

And there is a light

And there is a light

Yeah shit is bleak — we’ve seen it and worried

Our timid leaps get knee-deep and buried

Entire weeks where I swear I can barely rise

Electrical fits

Tantrums and prayers

Pride un-does what mercy repairs

The pits of this

Toss a match to it and start again

The absence of light is its own stubborn light

No light is a light

No light is the true light

And there is no light

For there is a light

Then there is no light

And there is a light!

Though we’ve been denied

Too much hope in our lives

Let tonight be the night

Let tonight be the night when it ends

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me, c’mon!

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

Tell me

(There is a light)

There is a light!

There is a light!

Tell me

There is a light

Tell me

There is a light

Tell me

There is a light

Tell me

There is a light
