Sign

Party crashers
Raised up crosses
While we forgot to keep the feast
It felt like an epiphany
Of our true allegiances
To say the least

I just know that
We've been here before
Burning incense
To a strongman
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign
Of contradiction

Men without chests
Mourned no losses
While they lit up New York City pink
We don't hesitate to say
They love the least of these
What a nice thing to think

I just know that
We've been here before
Offering tribute with our own children
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign
Of contradiction
I just know that
We've been here before
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign that can
Contradict us

There's no bloodless membership
It's just a question of whose blood it is
And we gather our strength against
Whatever victim seems expedient

And you should know cos
You've been here before
Being opposed from all directions
And we just don't know when to stop
Crucifying what
Contradicts us
You should know cos
You've been here before
We just don't know when to stop
Without a sign that can
Contradict us

And I just know that we've been here before

I cannot get around the fact
Your holy innocence is the only last
Contradiction
That speaks against
And saves us
In the end

Please give us a sign
And contradict us

Cos I know we've been here before
I know we've been here before
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign of
Contradiction
