lyrics

In a little fishing village on the coast of Oregon or Maine
maybe it was coal mine, or maybe it was a cave
once it had been started it could never be stopped
not by the military, the secret service or the cops

Scales fell from their eyes by thousands
even the stubborn got on their knees
it came to kill, it came to please
what's the difference are you the wind or the leaves

A little baby born as it's passed away
was it born free or was it shit into a cage
the minister stated it off with a strong prayer
but when he heard it call to him he sat back in his chair
the moment had passed
the monk, the nun, the sacrifice
they could only laugh
it had moved them from the church back into the cage
from the master's throne into the shackles of a slave.

Politicians they screamed its name
put blood on the streets and wept in shame.

It's time we saw it as it was
give it names and cast the blame
fuel the fire we lit inside of the cave
that crawled forth
to call forth
what, I can't say...

What I can't say
is what I won't say
I can't tell you
I won't tell you
what I can't say

An old woman is a bust place
is grateful it came and heard her name
she's waited this long to end her pain

She takes it like a lover's embrace
counts to three and does it with grace
...as she finally she's its face

It appears a little bit differently to everyone
a kiss on the lips, or a bit in a song
it can feel raw and powerful to some
but reckon with it everyone will, once.
their days are numbered
but yet there are still those
who continue on the old path.
