lyrics

In deserts of the travelling man, the highway is covered soft with sand
They're listening for the sounds of true religion
Where the preacher plays the songs of silent sacrifice for soul asylum seekers
With the message of the season
Beneath the crucifying the traitors on the cracking ground
The painters blindly throw the colors of the sun
When I met a mother maiden out on the backstreet pavement
She said, "have you no call to reason"?

For the Educator's lesson he has taught them all to listen
Do not speak until I've spoken once to you
Though that silence is a virtue it is answered with a curfew
You must be careful that your children follow you
When they've finished asking questions they'll be ready for ascension
To the swirls of stars and light, where dark is gone
When I met a mother maiden out on the backstreet pavement
She said, "have you no call to reason"?

In light of the Laws of Nature, the superstitious creature
Has conjured more than melodies unkind
The cognizant call to end it has come up empty-handed
Romantics claimed the motion of the mind
Their fallacies forsaking, their blessings in the making
Have lived and died a life as fit for none
When I met a mother maiden out on the backstreet pavement
She said, "have you no call to reason"?

At the end of time's temptation, on a blank page of creation
We built factories to play at God's own hand
We fed pills to all the dying just to keep their life prolonging
For fear that what we'd find we would not understand
And in the closing of our journey we will call for our attorney
With no answer, go up on trial all alone
Where I had met a mother maiden out on the backstreet pavement
She'd said, "have you no call to reason"?
