lyrics

Dark days, my Lord, too dark,
to remember the Ark;

Sleazy hand in parade,
near a drugstore in Hades;

Ill-mannered guys in suspenders,
take a look around searching for a preacher;

The sins jump over the moon,
and the silver runs away with the spoon;

Lord,
please,
tell us the truth

Somber was the night,
cold the ground but I rose up to the light;

A lazy river flowed into the red veins of Hell,
searching for someone to blame

There is a man walking around
looking for his tasks that exceeded all limits.

Lord,
please,
tell us the truth
