Made In The Dark

MADE IN THE DARK

Folks like us will one day return to dust
And blow away in the careless wind
Blind those eyes that are pure of sin
We were made in the dark
We crawl our way towards the light of grace
The devil shows up in the damndest place

Where does evil hide?
In the vein or in the wire
A cloud of vultures overhead
No longer shocked at what the newspaper says
The hawk will still prey on the do-nothing dove
We're a get-ahead beast with competitive blood
Talk of salvation, mercy, peace
There's no advantage to side with the meek
We were made in the dark
We crawl our way towards the light of grace
The devil shows up in the damndest ¬place

We took refuge on the tracks
Where the original sinners laughed
And threw St. Michael from a moving train
The sky broke open with knives of rain
But the rain it brought us new life
In childbirth a mother cried
My sons and daughters recognize
You have a lighthouse inside you that can save your life

We were made in the dark
