Where Idols Once Stood

Our idols lay in ruins

We'd have saved them if we could

But we still choose to worship

The places where our idols stood

Still believing

They can save us

I've lived this way

Too long to turn back now

Presuppositions set in stone

This coffin sealed by my own pride

And though it seems the sun will shine

I'll draw the shades and stay inside

If we've learned anything at all

It's that the ghosts of idols

Will do just as well

We all see what we want to anyway, anyway

Some things are better left unsaid

You know what's at stake

Some things are better left unsaid

As long as we keep it in textbooks

Then we'll be untouchable, untouchable

We hate to lie to children

But after all it's all for their own good

For their own good
