Let There Be Light
Light delves deep into the bottomless pit
All the grief the body bears
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
A family: man, wife and child
All the homeless hordes of refugees
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All of creation moans and groans
All the rupture, all the tears, throbbing wound
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All this squeaky clean sterilized civility
All the smiles, all the likes, all the parties
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All the ads, all the money-mad fantasy
All the noise, all the rubble, all the waste
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All this cultivation, all this progress, all these gurus
Talking heads, television, thorns and thistles
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All the grief the body bears
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
A family: man, wife and child
All the homeless hordes of refugees
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All of creation moans and groans
All the rupture, all the tears, throbbing wound
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All this squeaky clean sterilized civility
All the smiles, all the likes, all the parties
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All the ads, all the money-mad fantasy
All the noise, all the rubble, all the waste
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
All this cultivation, all this progress, all these gurus
Talking heads, television, thorns and thistles
The body screams O Heaven's Son
Where has all the mercy gone
