Purity

Within the blood of Nature all raised to rot and die

This purity a purity is a lie

Now immaculate conception in sterilised laboratories

How the vanity goes on

Or in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessions

The wars that we wage upon ourselves

Purity is a virtue purity is an angel

Purity is for madmen to make fools of us all

So forgive yourself my friend all this will soon be over

What happened here tonight is nothing at all

Revolution for ever succession of the seasons

Within the blood of nature all raised to rot and die

This purity purity is a lie

I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano

His fingers thick and red shaking on the keys

Battered by the years of alcohol and working

Still playing with the faith that never leaves

So sit us down buy us a drink tell us a good story

Sing us a song we know to be true

I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy

Fear is the only enemy that I still know
