The Father

lyrics

Father of lights come down to me
Father of lights come down to me
Through pale numb working days
In conditioned air
Network routed fingertips
Shifting in the chair
Limbic systems connected
Via satellite
Transmitting our data
To the most high
Father of lights come down to me
Father of lights come down to me
Through the debt of progress in arrears
For our survival
Paid when executive chieftans
Eat new arrivals
Deploy machines to finish
Our freshly minted cities
Humanity diminished
Proof can’t pay its way
Through dog-eared pages of
Dead languages my understood people
What good is cake from on high
When permission is denied to all my
Understood people?

Calling out favors
From the divine hostage negotiator
Like a sudden death hat trick
Breaking out moves
Like a congressional district
Once you pick at the scab of
What amount you have of
Conventional wisdom
Better open up your compact
For full scale combat
What are you gonna do?
Let us find new ways through
Dog eared pages of dead languages
my understood people
Blessed are the meek and the poor
The prostitutes and whores are
All my Understood people
Gabriel blow your horn declare the
Password of the Lord
To all my Understood People
When you hear that trumpet sound
March around The paywall seven times
My Understood People
Father of light, come on down to me
Father of light, come on down to me
