Pale as the morning falls away
The devil each dawn and flat graze upon
We're torn asunder 'neath his gaze

So come on, ye children
If there's one thing we know
It's that them 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 not truth, yeah
Ain't nothing 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

Go forth, man, qet down
With a mighty fist and a retarded crown
Do the one step the two step, sweet jubilee
And show me the light, goddamn

And lay me down in a bed full of rain
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 undoes 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, so there is a light
So there is no light, so there is a light

Though we've been denied too much hope in our lives
Let tonight be the night when it ends
Tell me there is a light, there is a light
There is a light

Pale as the morning falls away
The devil each dawn and flat graze upon
