|
All bright things have shadow sides |
|
Gilded kingdoms are illusion |
|
To be forgiven is to know divine love |
|
Proud religion is delusion |
|
I'm a world away from enlightened |
|
More than a stone's throw from the truth |
|
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies |
|
But I'll hold the lantern high for you |
|
I'll hold the lantern high for you |
|
I have stumbled down dark streets |
|
Too drunk to know the dangerously |
|
Too blind to tell a demon from an angel |
|
Or a lover from a stranger |
|
I'm a world away from enlightened |
|
More than a stone's throw from the truth |
|
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies |
|
But I'll hold the lantern high for you |
|
I'll hold the lantern high for you |
|
Scratching at the ocean floor |
|
No hop to fix your eyes on |
|
Then suddenly you're breathing under water |
|
Behold the luminous horizon |
|
I'm a world away from enlightened |
|
More than a stone's throw from the truth |
|
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies |
|
But I'll hold the lantern high for you |
|
I'll hold the lantern high for you |
