Shed a tear for the criminal
Give him something to believe
Light a fire for the miserable
Give the darkness some meaning
Closed wounds harbor pestilence
When you lick them from within
Charity has a redolence
Chastity cannot rescind
Spirit shine, it's a sign of a tortured mind
Spirit shine all the time
Can render you blind
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
You can take it, all to heart, or throw it all away
You can call it just a lark or live your life that way
You can give until you're dry and sucked of all your gleam
You can fake another cry and compromise your dream, yeah
Cling tight to the parable
Let it dominate your life
Create a God who's infallible
Give your leader some respite
Closed wounds harbor pestilence
When you lick them from within
Rosy smiles lose their radiance
When you take it on the chin
Spirit shine, it's a sign of a troubled mind
Spirit shine all the time
Can render you blind
Spirit shine, it's a sign of a tortured mind
Spirit shine all the time
Can render you blind
Okay, um
(Speak to the mic up)
There's little without purpose
