The One - The Bad Light

Gold and silver now won’t buy you another moment on the day you will die

Pray grumble mumble kneel and cry but not one prophet lives in the sky

Roll and tumble crumple kill and lie, all the great empires rot from inside

Need me, bleed me, kick me nothing down, pile guile and post like a hawk

Wallow shallow and baby don’t you frown, I wanna choke your pride till it don’t

make no sound…

All your shadows cast ambiguous light and all your seeds they feed on infinite

want

When a million is worth less than one, time is ripe to make one less than none

No I never said you could be the one to take what’s mine to hold in your hand

and for building all your castles on sacred ground, may all your failures shine

in your night

Shine on and on and on

Now cut and bleed shine on

If might is right and hope hangs light then you’re not seeing the fight to come
