Текст песни Lay A Little Light On Me

Cousins

Watch my hand, see it shakes, trembling as my life blood bleeds
Comfortless, superfakes, offering their empty creeds
That have no faith or substance, that change to suit the doubter
To satisfy his needs.

Rid me of my darkness, lay a little light on me
Clothe me with your brightness, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me.

Growing boys, masturbate, drink the wine and take the bread
Saintly priests, castigate, holy water for the head
With shades of John the Baptist who came intent to rescue
But danced with death instead.

Rid me of my darkness, lay a little light on me
Clothe me with your brightness, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me.

Bless the good, curse the bad, some are wise, others mad
Phoney propheteers suitably seeming sad
Preparing for the kingdom
Annointing us with wisdom
Convinced that we'll be glad.

Rid me of my darkness, lay a little light on me
Clothe me with your brightness, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me
Oh save me someone, lay a little light on me.
