"Church & State" lyrics

"Church & State"

While the empire was failing
I was so far from home
I heard a thousand sirens wailing
So I was never on my own

And when the blackness slowly parted
I saw the ivory towers
Before the revolution started
Between the madness of the hours

And they don't see what we see
But we believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today then they're gone forever
Never say never say never say

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Imagine if we could

In the days that quickly followed
They began to turn to stone
They couldn't stand or speak or swallow
They couldn't get out of bed alone

And when the frailty overcomes them
And they begin to crawl
Reaching out their bloody hands
Guess who gets to make the call?

Well they don't see, what we see
But we believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say never say never say

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Imagine if we could

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act
Of the whole American people which declared that
Their legislature should make no law respecting an
Establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
Exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation
Between Church and State."

No, they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say never say never say

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Imagine if we could
