lyrics

Follow, Or

Follow me,
On desire’s pyre,
Trust in me, (children,) we’ll set the world on fire;
Through strife and peace,
You’re born and die,
All this life demands is sacrifice.

The holy spirit’s just the fool to the world,
With his wisdom that mocks
The common-sense flock
And the rationalist’s shock:
The disbelieving skeptics turn, while he laughs as he burns.

Follow me,
Invest in self,
No greater good in life than health and wealth;
Here and now,
You’re born to thrive,
All this life demands is a will to survive.

The worldly spirit is the priest to the world,
With his sweet words that jibe
With the common-sense minds
And material lives:
The people, in turn, rejoice, while he laughs to clear his voice.

Blood and tears,
Hate and ire,
Oh don’t you see the world already on fire?

Welter and waste
And empty is self,
Oh what joy is lasting in the face of certain death?

Restless hearts,
Wherefore do you yearn?
How does a man decide which way to turn?

Sinners and saints
Lie underground,
They know the truth but make no sound.

about

English Minor Chicago, Illinois

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.
