In All Her Complexity

Feast my eyes above
Contemporary dove
Folded in his hands
divine encrypted plans

Checkbooks for your sins
Claps and shouts begin
Thanks be to but who?
Something people drew

Peace be to the rock
I don't even know his name
but I will walk
like it's all the same

Love be to the stone
in all her complexity
When we are alone
she is free

The crowds are gone
The guns are drawn
The soldiers play
their songs all day

What do I believe?
The tears of blessed Eve
Her naked body lays
for deceitful men to pay

He says give and give
and I'll tell you how to live
Extortion, sex, and repressed smirks
all in one days work

Peace be to the rock
I don't even know his name
but I will walk
like it's all the same

Love be to the stone
in all her complexity
When we are alone
she is free

The crowds are gone
The guns are drawn
The soldiers play
their songs all day

Peace be to the rock
I don't even know his name
but I will walk
like it's all the same

Love be to the stone
in all her complexity
When we are alone
she is free

The crowds are gone
The guns are drawn
The soldiers play
their songs all day

The children sing
for an uprising
we're all lame
but we're glad you came

Love is here
Have no fear

For all the people
of the world
pews are empty
but they're really filled

Peace be to the rock
I don't even know his name
but I will walk
like it's all the same

Love be to the stone
in all her complexity
When we are alone
she is free

The crowds are gone
The guns are drawn
The soldiers play
their songs all day
