"Keeper Of The Ledger" lyrics

It is a fair and noble arrangement
This business of life and existence
Where everything we take from the earth
Will be taken back and returned
The face of God has always been disguised
As the mother, giver, and lover of all life
But the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature
Only concerns that your body returns on time

Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Into the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained

The count is cold and calculated, the precision is exact
No one is exempt or unaccounted for
All that was taken will be taken back
The gods have always been believed to love
And care for the quality of our lives
But the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature
Only concerns with the quantity of your time

Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Into the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained
Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Back to the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained

We create our myths of purpose
To fill our lives with hope and wonder
But to the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature
Your body is just another number

It is a fair assumption of our human nature to assume
That the business of nature is inherently good

When nature comes collecting, it doesn't care at all about you
Nature comes collecting, it doesn't care at all to know you
When nature comes collecting, it doesn't care to hear your story
Nature comes collecting, and only wants you for your body
Nature is the man after all
Nature is the mob after all
Nature is the business after all
Nature is the cult
