Along the Way

Along the way,
On the road to Damascus,
All the people, they were pushing right past us.

They wore that look,
They had those eyes,
Like, we can see, though we are blind.

They sang their hymns,
And lifted their hands,
Rushing on to the promised land.

The road did narrow,
Yet the people devised,
A holy life demanded compromise.

Eloi
Eloi
Eloi lama sabachthanei

My walk did waver
At the sight of the vision:
From out the catacombs, a new world religion.

Cinder-steel temples,
Anodyne lives,
Free and worldly paradise.

Downcast, I turned,
And slipped the stole,
O God forgive me O my soul.

A songwriting duo who, after many (many) attempts, have been unable to formulate a bio of just the right amount of sincerity and irony so as to succinctly capture the essence of their musical sensibilities.
