St. Anthony's Fire Lyrics

A sunrise,
pale and cold.
The splendor
of this world.

Falling under
the colors of haze.

Feel the whisper
of these broken limbs.

Take one of each,
one white, one clear.
Let’s take off into where it goes.

Don’t look.
They are coming
after you.

Ergo, ergot has got you by the neck.
Don’t struggle; take it all in.
This what we are given
from this indifferent world.

This indifferent world.
Be ready, we are not waiting for you.
That is vanity.
Don’t expect this all to make sense.
Don’t expect this all to make sense.

For just once
can you fix your stare?
On what this not
your life.

After all this time.

This is all absurdity.
You seek meaning.
I haven’t said one thing
to you.

Seek out, whatever you can.
You must take it all in.
It won’t make a difference
to them.
Whoever they are.

Just this once,
a sunrise passed behind.
Ergo, ergot has got you by the neck.
Let this pass by.

Just this once,
a sunrise passed behind.
Ergo, ergot has got you by the neck.
Let this pass by.
Let this pass by.


Can it just be what we want it to be?
We will see what we want to see.
Can it just be what we want it to be?
We will see what we want to see.
Can it just be what we want it to be?
We will see what we want to see.
Can it just be what we want it to be?
We will see what we want to see.

But I will not let it be.
This is not the way things are.
Clouding my vision of what this world has to offer.
Utter absurdity. Utter indifference.
If this is what you call meaning, then existentialism is my forte.
If this is what you call meaning, then pantheism is my forte.
But I will not dwell on this line of reasoning.
Of this line of reasoning.
