Shadow Of The Saints

Angels at my feet, asked me to take a seat
Got pulls on my hair, warns me to have a care
Mary knocks on my door asks, Who are you looking for?
Joseph wears a grin, tells me confess my sins

(Chorus)
Walking in the shadow of the saints
Can t live up to the visions that they paint
An idol s life is hard to twist and bend
But hopefully there will be a happy end

Father whispers in my ear, Sacrifice is very dear
Sister burns bright the torch, devil s eye can surely scorch
Brother beats down his fist, Am I not on God s list?

(Chorus)
Walking in the shadow of the saints
Can t live up to the visions that they paint
An idol s life is hard to twist and bend

But hopefully there will be a happy end

Sounds of rushing silk
Religion sucking up all our good earth s milk
We reinvent out selves to be good as gold
But who can say for a fact that it s ever saved a soul?

All I ask my town is to slowly look around
Must we seek what others have sought
Am I Judas because I get caught?
Let me plant my own seeds
Daughters put away your rosary beads
Must I be damned in hell
For not falling where others fell?

(Chorus)
Walking in the shadow of the saints
Can t live up to the visions that they paint
An idol s life is hard to twist and bend
But hopefully there will be a happy end
