The Cow People Lyrics

An impossible task
Not to repeat our past
Institutions decayed and the demons did laugh
Hope had somehow survived
On our darkest of nights
Superstitions supposed that a savior would rise
Free to live in relief
Though the moments were brief
A future is still possible just wait and see
Left with nothing to say

Still no price we could pay
To be released from the bondage that our fear had made
A blast from the wreckage had fallen to the world
And after the dust and the sand
Had fell back to earth
In the middle was a small girl
To all believers so futile as they pray
Bring us relief from our ways
Put her in glass and save her for a bad day
The true understanding was censored by the church
A miracle branding of cure
She's no savior
We were meant to save her
Free to live in denial
Consequences so vile
We denied her an innocent life as a child
