The Sacred and Profane

Priest of the invisible
save your breath for the afterlife
Soldier of the righteous cause
hold your fire ‘cuz I’m unarmed

Who’ll shepherd your flock now?
Fight your bloodless war?

Guardian of false justice
leave your gavel at the door
Officer of unwritten law
give your badge a rest tonight

Who’ll preserve order now?
Fill our jails with innocents?

Cynical sensation
much less than meets the eye in the truth

There’s a fine line between irrational and sane
Such a thin, thin line between the sacred and profane
Tell me, who you gonna believe?

Prophet of the system
takes credit for illusion of faith

There’s a fine line between irrational and sane
Such a thin, thin line between the sacred and profane
Tell me, who you gonna believe?

Musical impostor
creates his propaganda for your soul

Leader of the brave new world
show some mercy upon the weak
God above this spinning rock
forgive our worship of mortal flaw
