David Wirsig - Kaden lyrics

A fire burns in the churchyard The chemicals conjured from lies A candlelit room is as dark as a tomb The gasoline sputters and dies The delegate stands on the altar Screaming the truth through blind eyes "the moment we're paid all your troubles will fade" The world hangs its head from outside They can't understand why these rules and demands Are the source of the water of life 'Cause all they can see is the man on TV Begging for one more soul to indict Ah, but I thought you were here for the show So I'll give you a song and dance tonight We move o'er the ground like we're not here at all Sanctioned off by the laws we abide We promise to pray, shake your hand, walk away Never once will we look in your eye Ah, but I thought you were here for the show So I'll give you a song and dance tonight A fire is burning in Kaden Awakening light in my eyes My soul is in bloom, is entirely consumed As the flames stretch their arms towards the skies
