In Our Waning Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Barbarians camped inside the gates Careening clown cars, all without brakes The Father of Lies in slinky drag arrives To take charge of all the venomous snakes IPhones: iStones turned to bread The starving multitudes are easily fed Down at the mall, more "blah blah blah" Feeds that beautiful face on that empty head [Chorus 1] In our waning days We've gotta trust in a lover In our waning days To help us go on loving others [Verse 2] Laugh out loud about the boring crowds Those bed-sheeted saints sitting up on clouds It's the same kind of joke that's a hope that floats Down thе River Styx, one big party boat Little tin gods with a jonеs for praise The priests of creation with a world to save How proud some are of their right kind of car Driving around in a locked and gilded cage [Chorus 2] In our waning days We've gotta trust in a lover (A lover who will not let go) In our waning days To help us go on loving others (A lover who will bring us home) [Verse 3] Grandstanding hauteur in a professor's suit A blowhard with a tiny horn and little toot More enlightened than Christ with ready advice For any sycophant who finds him astute Homesick wanderers craving rest Clinging to hope as long as they have breath Hearts in waiting, anticipating The arrival of someone who never left [Chorus 2] In our waning days We've gotta trust in a lover (A lover who will not let go) In our waning days To help us go on loving others (A lover who will bring us home) In our waning days We've gotta trust in a lover (A lover who will not let go) In our waning days To help us go on loving others (A lover who will bring us home) [Outro] In our waning days (We need a lover who will not let go) In our waning days (We need a lover who will bring us home) In our waning days (We need a lover who will not let go) In our waning days (We need a lover who will bring us home) In our waning days We need a lover We need a lover
