Gods and Governments

We loathe the darkness that we're breathin'

We fear the hole that we live in

There's sadness sadder than can be spoken

There's emptiness emptier than worth knowing

We cry with a pain that won't show it's face

A great sorrow that will never leave this place

Pray but don't except salvation

The end holds nothing but deflation

In fear we invent Gods and governments

To hide we invent Gods and governments

Behind lies a truth that's ugly and shallow

Our lives are a journey confined and narrow

We're born alone and we die alone

There are heroes among us but they're all unsung

The landscape gives us the best indication

That the light at the end of the tunnel is a gateway to nothing
