lyrics

Don't point your finger/ put down your guns
I'm not going to fight you/ And I'm not going to run
I can't tell you a secret/ You already know
That I already know/ That we already know
All intuition/ Is stars in the distance
Is all of religion/ And all of forgiveness

For we are alive/ And we are at home

If you kill me don't fear me/ There'll be no resistance
I'll embark on no mission/ I won't cancel Christmas
There's no ghosts like in stories/ Who put on white blouses
to howl in the hallways/ And haunt up the houses
There's no ghosts who signed contracts/ To collect on their losses
There's no ghosts of regret/ Who submit to their bosses
There's no time to answer/ For the life that you stole
There's no custody battle/ For unfortunate souls

For we are alive/ And we are at home

Bridge (instrumental)

When all prophets are lost/ And all profits are losses
And all battlefields covered/ With flowers and crosses
When the saints' painted casket/ Is robbed of its jewels
And the candles on alters/ Are extinguished by fools
When ideals of beauty/ are besieged by old age
Like a terrible tiger/ Who's resigned to its cage
When all of the prayers/ That societies breed
See we suffer and share / In the fate of the trees

Then we are alive/ And we are at home
