Speak anywhere, any voice to any air As history records us, the sunbelt singers ignore us Our hearts are in the hole, never gave never stole We are an exception, have been since our inception We are lost in the century no spark in the dusk And now our eyelids are empty. We cannot see and cannot be seen We're cast as the ingrates, we make our own thanks But we're not thirsting for hemlock Our terrors insist but we can resist! Last in the queue with so much left to do This era's reversal is happening in half an hour rehearsal Our church is on fire from its crypt up to its spire And the reasons it's burning will hardly be ever worth learning We are lost in the century no spark in the dusk And now our eyelids are empty. We cannot see and cannot be seen We're cast as the ingrates, we make our own thanks But we're not thirsting for hemlock Our terrors insist but we can resist!
