Verse:
Weâre building castles in a cave we call reason
Writing darkness on the walls to try and block the Sun
Pebbles, twigs and straw â day by day we bring them
Darkened by our pride we canât see what weâve become
Chorus:
But shadows of Providence dance on our walls of confidence
Can we not hear the words they tell? (These walls are imprisoning, why arenât we listening?)
We fight as humanists; we close our eyes and raise our fists
But if this is enlightenment, why is it dark as hell?
Verse:
Weâre putting God into a box we call out-dated
Throwing faith away because we say it makes us blind
âReligion is a crutch â a drug to ease the jadedâ
So we claim that âGod is deadâ and then proclaim ourselves divine
Bridge:
Weâre hiding
Weâre hiding
Weâre hiding from the dawn. (All is vanity, all is vanity, oh dear humanity, where is our sanity?)
But weâre dying
Weâre dying
Weâre dying for God to turn the lights on. (All is vanity, all is vanity, oh dear humanity, where is your sanity?)
