Sioux - The Silk Demise

I was taught the gospel

By an engineer who designed me by example

Singing hymns of evolution

Evolution

In which children weigh their measure

On scales that held their fathers

And spend every worthy moment

Every worthy moment

Calling out their numbers

Calling out their numbers

To the butcher selling them by the pound

To the butcher selling them by the pound

I tipped the scale but I was sold

To feed the growing hunger

In a marketplace for the ones

Too tough to eat

But fit to drink until they were floating

Floating floating floating floating

I became a swimmer

While drowning in the womb

Grew gills to drink the oxygen like wine

Oh

Praise the restless stirring in my soul

Praise the endless turning of my eyes

Praise the darkness coveting the light

Praise the revelation

Revelation

Praise the restless stirring in my soul

Praise the endless turning of my eyes

Praise the darkness coveting the light

Praise the revelation

Revelation

Praise the restless stirring in my soul

Praise the endless turning of my eyes

Praise the darkness coveting the light

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation

Praise the revelation

Revelation revelation
