Lyrics
It's painted on a canvas, and it's written on a page
It represents a visual and written representation of a significant concept or message.
Scribbled on a napkin in the dark
The message is casually jotted down in a dimly lit place, possibly emphasizing spontaneity or hidden thoughts.
It's ringing in a whisper, and it's screaming on a stage
The message is both subtly communicated and passionately expressed, perhaps in different contexts.
Setting fire to my heart
The impact of the message is intense, stirring deep emotions and passion.
And were our hearts not burning within us
A reference to a shared intense feeling or purpose.
Did not the rocks cry, "This is why you're here"
A metaphorical reference, possibly to historical or significant moments that define purpose.
Let us defend this most holy mountain
A call to protect something sacred and important, possibly a metaphorical mountain representing values or beliefs.
Let none disturb our city on a hill
An appeal for undisturbed preservation of a metaphorical "city on a hill," symbolizing an ideal community.
It's stitched into the banner, and it's waving with the flag
The message is integrated into symbols of identity and pride, like a flag.
It's stained in black and in white
The message is ingrained in both positive and negative aspects of life.
But there's comfort in the contrast, in the line drawn in the sand
Comfort is found in the contrasts and boundaries that define the message.
Welcomed distraction in the fight
Distraction is welcomed in the midst of challenges or conflicts related to the message.
And were our hearts not burning within us
A repetition emphasizing the intensity of shared emotions or purpose.
Did not the rocks cry, "This is why you're here"
Reiteration of a historical or significant moment reinforcing purpose.
Let us defend this most holy mountain
Renewed call for protection and defense of a sacred metaphorical mountain.
Let none disturb our city on a hill
A plea for non-interference in maintaining an ideal community represented by the "city on a hill."
It's timeless and eternal, the water and the blood
The enduring and fundamental nature of the message, symbolized by "water and blood."
A valley to find rest in late at night
A metaphorical valley representing solace and peace during difficult times.
It's excrement and it's sacrament, saliva in the mud
An acknowledgment of both mundane and sacred aspects of life, possibly highlighting contrasts.
Perfect hill on which to die
An ideal place to commit to a cause, even if it involves sacrifice.
And were our hearts not burning within us
Reiteration of the shared intense feeling or purpose.
Did not the rocks cry, "This is why you're here"
A reference to a defining moment, reinforcing the significance of the message.
Let us defend this most holy mountain
Continued call to safeguard a sacred metaphorical mountain, emphasizing its holiness.
Let none disturb our city on a hill
Emphasis on the importance of non-disturbance in maintaining the ideal community represented by the "city on a hill."
And were our hearts not burning within us
Repetition to underscore the shared intense feeling or purpose.
Did not the Lord say, "There's no other way"
A possible religious reference, asserting the exclusivity of a particular path or purpose.
Let us protect this most precious garden
An appeal to safeguard a precious metaphorical garden, possibly symbolizing innocence and purity.
Because we need it, the apple and the snake
An acknowledgment of the need for both positive and negative aspects represented by the "apple and the snake."
