Spirit Shine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Spirit shine, it's a sign Of a tortured mind Spirit shine all the time Can render you blind [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Spirit shine, it's a sign Of a troubled mind Spirit shine all the time Can render you blind
