lyrics

The sun shone through his shoulders

The vision shined in his eyes

He was one of the chosen

The last of his kind

He spoke to everyman who listened

Their ears were his vice

He spread the good word as a messenger

One who claimed to see the light



He was so enlightened

In his mind he would die

Just to prove as loyal to his god

But no father a disguise

Put over the faces of the elders

Tired as they were of coping day to day

With the relentless threatening gaze

The wilderness they kept at bay

Their lovers would all be taken

For their children it was not safe to play

Out in a place of chaos surrounded by this haze

Unable to pierce the fog

They uncovered a blinding light

Called it something holy

Called it something pure

They had the vilest of feelings

As they turned to the lord

And it carried throughout



In their desperation and dismay

They sealed mans fate to this very day

At one time crusading for the land in his name

Well things have happened

Times have changed

There is a holy war over your mind

That land they fought for has run dry

Have you all run dry?



They took their greed and called it prophecy

They laid their schemes and shouted dynasty

I am not an outward mockery but I try to see the truth

Irony



The truth is they are beautiful

The truth is they are golden

Truth be told they hide their scars

The fellowship of thy kin

Building these houses on shaking stilts

It's harder to see the pillars

When you see the people growing between

The foundations are a rouse

I believe in the ground

Can you feel the morals on the back of your neck?

Does your conscious keep you to it?

Why do these sanctuaries seem so cold?

Remember you gave them

Remote control



I will never be a part of something beautiful

I'll be the ugly one

To show you all what the worlds become

The ugly one

Punished when I commit a sin

Like a dog that doesn't understand

The ugly one

I'll be the ugly one.
