Night
de Attalus
We’re building castles in a cave we call reason
Writing darkness on the walls tryin' to block the Sun
Pebbles, twigs, and straw, day by day we bring them
Oh, but darkened by our pride we can’t see what we’ve become
Oh, shadows of Providence dance on our walls of confidence
Can we not hear the words they tell?
We fight as humanists; we close our eyes and raise our fists
If this is enlightenment, why is it dark as hell?
We’re shoving God into a box we call out-dated
Throwing faith away 'cause we say it makes us blind
“Religion is a crutch, a drug to ease the jaded”
And we claim that “God is dead” and then proclaim ourselves divine
Oh, shadows of Providence dance on our walls of confidence
Can we not hear the words they tell?
(These walls are imprisoning, why aren't we listening?)
We fight as humanists; we close our eyes and raise our fists
If this is enlightenment, why is it dark as hell?
Here comes the light
That comes to wipe out the walls that we try to build high
Because we think we can hide
So we say to ourselves
The next wave won't fell the next castle we build
Because we'll build it too well
So we bring in more straw
To make the bricks for the wall
And when the light finally comes
Even this one won't fall
We work till we're beat
Sweat and bleed in the heat
Because we'd rather just die
Than admit our defeat
Hiding! (Hiding!)
Hiding! (Hiding!)
Oh, hiding! (Hiding!)
Hiding from the dawn!
(All is vanity! All is vanity! Oh, dear humanity, where is your sanity?)
Dying! (Dying!)
Dying! (Dying!)
Oh, dying! (Dying!)
For God to turn the lights on!
(All is vanity! All is vanity! Oh, dear humanity, where is your sanity?)
Shadows of Providence dance on our walls of confidence
Can we not hear the words they tell?
(These walls are imprisoning, why am I not listening?)
We fight as humanists; we close our eyes and raise our fists
If this is enlightenment, why is it dark as hell?
Oh, dear humanity, where is your sanity?
