Silver Mt Zion - There is a Light lyrics

Hang on darling Gentle now This boy's lost his thunder in the dirty clouds Dull white starlite Pale as the morning falls away The devil each dawn And flat greys upon We're torn asunder neath his gaze So c'mon ye children If there's one thing we know It's that them gathering clouds are swinging low So don't you be precious Man don't you be meek There ain't no damn glory in the long retreat Go call the fuzz They'll shine their lights on us We've been building in the dark There's so many of us Now blinking in the light There's so many of us Illuminated and proud There's so many of us But there ain't no truth but the no truth but the not truth, yeah! Ain't no thing but the nothing but the nothing, yeah! Ain't no fall but the long fall is a long fall, yeah! And there ain't no light but the true light is a dim light, yeah! But I've been waiting and longing for that light to fall all over me 6 and 6 parsons and he doth proclaim that the best little bits of us misfits and strays Make a light in the night that needs to be shamed All for some none for all And all fallen the same And we surrender the stage to those pale horse riders Go forth, man Get down With a mighty fist and a retarded crown Do the one-step the two-step Sweet jubilee! And show me the light, goddamn! And lay me down in a bed full of rain Yeah sh** is bleak - we've seen it and worried Our timid leaps get knee-deep and buried Entire weeks where I swear I can barely rise Electrical fits Tantrums and prayers Pride un-does what mercy repairs The pits of this Toss a match to it and start again The absence of light is its own stubborn light - no light is a light No light is the true light And there is no light so there is a light so there is no light so there is a light! Though we've been denied too much hope in our lives Let tonight be the night when it ends Tell me there is a light! There is a light! There! Is! A! Light!
