lyrics

Verse 1

No absolute statement can blanket the cold.
No God-given feeling will align with what you’re told.
Listen and follow, the cycle wears old.
Listen and follow, or go home.

Chorus

There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.
There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.

Verse 2

We breathed of the same air, we ate of the same bread.
We are of the same flesh. We are of the same flesh.
But we’ve diluted the wine and now there’s nothing left.
We’ve diluted the wine and now there’s nothing left.

Chorus

There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.
There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.

There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all, reasons for the inner voice that calls.
There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.

There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all, reasons for the cold frost when it falls.
There’s reasons for the writing on the wall,
reasons for it all.
