This is the throne where hatred keeps

And what is sown is never reaped

This is the blindness that you need

This is the vein on which you feed

Surrender it's just one twist

I will surrender aching wrist

I can't remember it's never enough

I will surrender it's never enough

Oh my darling one for all and all for one

Give me reason the quest for truth

Give me something disobedient yet responsive

To believe in out of darkness there will be light

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

This is the dignity that you felt

This is the gutter where you have knelt

Surrender it's just one twist

I will surrender aching wrist

I can't remember it's never enough

I will surrender it's never enough

Oh my darling it's a war with no winners

Give me reason when violence hits home

Give me something ignorance is your religion

To believe in take this spear and heal thyself

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

Disobedience one too many lies

Disobedience it's the greatest swindle

Disobedience everything falls into place

Disobedience take these words and feel thyself

This is your wretched heavin' high

These are the shamed the damned the blamed

I can smell the slowly spreadin' stain

Oh the burden of shame

Oh my darling

Give me reason

Give me something

To believe in
