"Sacred" lyrics
In a hall full of people who turn to look
At the light
And your God's telling you you should bite the hook
Then pulls the line
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
Pull the line, pull the line, pull the line
Pull the line
And the doctor says there is no guarantee
We'll be fine
But your God's hanging over your mental pleas
So pray for time
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
Pay your fine
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken
You and I both know
Heaven's above us
Who's gonna carry us up?
Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
If the altar was covered in remedies
Cut and dried
Then you'd find me reciting the rosary
By the side
All the saints aren't around anymore
What a shame
But the shrine to the right of your door
Keeps you sane
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken
You and I both know
Heaven's above us
Who's gonna carry us up?
Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
Oh, the lightning
Strikes in the center of dry fields
Rolls through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch
So the scripture
Lent a predictable picture
Of how we've come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm
Oh, the lightning
Strikes in the center of dry fields
Runs through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch
So the scripture
Lent a predictable picture
Of how we've come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken
You and I both know
Heaven's above us
Who's gonna carry us up?
Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
At the light
And your God's telling you you should bite the hook
Then pulls the line
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
Pull the line, pull the line, pull the line
Pull the line
And the doctor says there is no guarantee
We'll be fine
But your God's hanging over your mental pleas
So pray for time
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
Pay your fine
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken
You and I both know
Heaven's above us
Who's gonna carry us up?
Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
If the altar was covered in remedies
Cut and dried
Then you'd find me reciting the rosary
By the side
All the saints aren't around anymore
What a shame
But the shrine to the right of your door
Keeps you sane
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken
You and I both know
Heaven's above us
Who's gonna carry us up?
Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
Oh, the lightning
Strikes in the center of dry fields
Rolls through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch

Of how we've come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm
Oh, the lightning

Runs through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch

Of how we've come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm

Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken

Some great celestial sign is arriving
You and I both know
What you're sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
