Symbols and Signs

Walk in the light, still a shadow is cast a frothy concoction of present and past
Light from the dreamer, screaming to be heard yet only mumbles and whispers, pieces of words
Seeking and finding, losing and dying, falling and flying
Changes so constant, inconsistencies rise peddler or prophet, savior or lies
Changes so constant, inconsistencies rise peddler or prophet, savior or lies

A mask for the holy, yeah there's a mask for the crime there's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep unmasked is the one with no secrets to keep
There's a mask for the holy, yeah there's a mask for the crime There's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep umasked is the one with no secrets to keep

Run in the dark, frantic for light An insoluble mixture of wrong mixed with right
Horses unbridled, descend on the night there's only a gallop, pounding the ground
Running or hiding, living or dying Unchanging or static, merry go round and round
Peddler or prophet, savior or clown unchanging or static, merry go round and round
Merry go round and round, you go round and round

A mask for the holy, yet there's a mask for the crime there's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep unmasked is the one with no secrets to keep
There's a mask for the holy, yeah there's a mask for the crime There's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep unmasked is the one with no secrets to keep

Yeah, go take a look behind the scenes they rob the innocent of future dreams
Walk around and pretend to lead While in the dark they sow sinful seeds
They only care about their wants and needs, setting fires, then they run away
While in the shadows they lie and wait until temptation's pain is too great

They will lead you to the gate but beneath is rotten rage
Blood and bones in a vipers nest I'm gonna put the wicked to their rest

A mask for the holy, yeah there's a mask for the crime there's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep unmasked is the one with no secrets to keep
A mask for the holy, yeah there's a mask for the crime there's a mask for the power in symbols and signs
A mask for the shepherd who slaughters her sheep unmasked is the one with no secrets to keep

There's a mask for the holy, there's a mask for the crime
There's a mask for the holy, there's a mask for the crime
There's a mask for the holy, there's a mask for the crime
There's a mask for the holy, there's a mask for the crime
