Disobedience

This is the throne where hatred keeps
And what is sown is never reaped
This is the blindness that you need
This is the vein on which you feedSurrender, it's just one twist
I will surrender, aching wrist
I can't remember, it's never enough
I will surrender, it's never enoughOh my darling, one for all and all for one
Give me reason, the quest for truth
Give me something, disobedient yet responsive
To believe in, out of darkness there will be lightClose your eyes
Close your eyesThis is the dignity that you felt
This is the gutter where you have kneltSurrender, it's just one twist
I will surrender, aching wrist
I can't remember, it's never enough
I will surrender, it's never enoughOh my darling, it's a war with no winners
Give me reason, when violence hits home
Give me something, ignorance is your religion
To believe in, take this spear and heal thyselfClose your eyes
Close your eyesDisobedience, one too many lies
Disobedience, it's the greatest swindle
Disobedience, everything falls into place
Disobedience, take these words and feel thyselfThis is your wretched, heavin' high
These are the shamed, the damned, the blamed
I can smell the slowly spreadin' stain
Oh, the burden of shameOh my darling
Give me reason
Give me something
To believe in
