The Mountain Goats - Songs for Pierre Chuvin

Their Gods Do Not Have Surgeons

They came like beasts who'd tasted blood
First a few and then the flood
Coursing over hill and dale
Wet paw prints on their bloody trail

Return the peace you took from me
Give me back my community
Show us the good will you were shown
But leave us alone

And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis

Yeah, restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis

Their hunger like a worm inside them
No sacred place could be denied them
They who talk all day of beauty
Call all the plain things dirty

Melted holes in celluloid
Give me back what you've destroyed
You who come demanding proof
Let your God rebuild this roof

And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis

Yeah, restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis

Make it whole again if you can
Stand in the smoke and say some prayers
Wave your hand

And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis

Restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
