Lyrics
We are the face of the long ages past
We represent the enduring legacy of the distant past.
And nothing changes at all
No significant changes occur over time.
Is God still lookin' has anyone asked?
Is God still observing; has anyone inquired?
Can any of us recall?
Do any of us remember or have knowledge?
Break of day
The beginning of a new day.
Countless souls
Many souls without count.
Kneel and pray
Kneeling and praying.
Church doors closed
Church doors are shut.
The day after the night before
The aftermath of a significant event.
That warm rapture was just a dream
The previous ecstasy was merely a fantasy.
They drew pictures upon the floor
Pictures drawn on the floor.
It was the face of the virgin queen
Images resembling the face of the virgin queen.
When we learn nothin' from yesterday's lies
Failure to learn from past lies.
And let the fire go out
Allowing the flame of knowledge to extinguish.
What does it take just to open our eyes?
What effort is needed to open our eyes?
And what's this thing all about?
Questioning the purpose and meaning of life.
Fast asleep
In a state of deep slumber.
It still rains
Rain continues even while asleep.
Fallin' deep
Falling into a profound and unexplained state.
Unexplained
Experiencing something without understanding.
They threw diamonds into the air
Diamonds thrown into the air symbolizing waste.
Their minds empty their heads were sore
Minds empty, heads in pain.
The sky cloudy and filled with prayer
The sky is cloudy, filled with prayers.
The day after the night before
The aftermath of a significant event.
The sky was blood red
The sky is vividly red, possibly signifying danger.
That morning
Describing a particular morning.
And one lonesome voice
A lone voice persistently calling out.
Kept callin'
Ashes to ashes, reminiscent of mortality.
Ashes to ashes
Indicating the significance of today.
Today is the day
A powerful statement emphasizing the present moment.
