about

this is a song about a movie i haven't seen and a book i haven't read.

lyrics

i heard holy voices from across the sea
they were up on a mountain just waiting for me
and the hope that they offered was a hope that i couldn't believe
i appear as a prophet from the days of old
i can't make the sick well but i turn shit to gold
i partake of myself and ask all the priests to behold.

so someone prepared the way for me before i came
i returned the favor and i did the same
i felt for her face and her face felt just like a flame
i spent my first night underneath an old tree
the holiest voices still shouting to me
it doesn't bother you, but should it bother me?

i carry a staff with the sun as its crown
i drink bitter poison but i'm keeping it down
the thing you can't find is the very thing you know must be found
the camera, the crew, even the light hesitates
the thing is perceived by the will of the fates
the speaker proclaims that real life truly awaits

i spent my last night in a comfortable bed
the holiest voices echo in my head
i felt for my face and my face felt just like the dead
