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
