Testo di Houses of the Holy

Through transubstantiation they come to claim your soul With blood and tears and promises they leave you less than whole Then let them put your innocence to fire and to the sword While inattentive children sing the praises of an inattentive lord In the houses of the holy To walk between the pillars from darkness into light The glory and the kingdom and the power to be right Draw secret signs and hieroglyphs in wine and salt and sand While trembling initiates make responses that they barely understand In the houses of the holy Dancing in the circle more than naked, less than free Bound by dreams and visions of what you need to be Sublimating reason with a deep and ancient fear Return to superstition, casting out the demons that you once held dear In the houses of the holy And all the gods and goddesses of candlelight and green Will hang their heads and weep for all the things that might have been The few who know and understand the truth will mourn and grieve Its not belief that shames the world but the actions of the people who believe In the houses of the holy To the Houses of the Holy Bring your spirit and your mind To the Houses of the Holy Bring the truths you need to find To the Houses of the Holy Bring your body and your soul To the Houses of the Holy
