Sleeping At Last - Naive lyrics

rate me

<br>

Religion is a breeding ground <br>Where the Devil's work is deeply found, <br>With teeth as sharp as cathedral spires, <br>Slowly sinking in. <br> <br>God knows that I've been naive <br>But I think it makes him proud of me. <br>Now it's so hard to separate <br>My disappointments from his name. <br> <br>Because shadows stretch behind the truth, <br>Where stained glass offers broken clues <br>And fear ties knots and pulls them tight. <br>It leaves us paralyzed. <br> <br>But in the end such tired words will rest. <br>The truth will reroute the narrow things they've said. <br>The marionette strings will lower and untie <br>And out of the ashes, love will be realized. <br> <br>God knows that we've been naive <br>And a bit nearsighted to say the least. <br>It's broken glass at children's feet <br>That gets swept aside unexpectedly<br>
