lyrics

Red is the colour of my own faith, I’m this colour all over.
Look there’s other colours over there and one over there and one over…
…It doesn’t matter where you look, they’re everywhere.
That filth said my eyes weren’t looking right, it didn’t stop me making him blind.

There go the building blocks of this promised land.
There go the building blocks of this promised land.
There goes the chance to see, what was in his hands.
And as he reaches down, I’ll be sneaking round to stretch his fingers out…
…There’s nothing in there.

Peace said the colours are not fair, they don’t account for choice (just conspiracy),
Just conditioning of the senses to fear the senses.
Do you fear what you see? Or what’s in your heart?
While you’re deciding…

There go the building blocks of this promised land.
There go the building blocks of this promised land.
There goes the chance to see, what was in his hands.
And as he reaches down, I’ll be sneaking round to stretch his fingers out…
…There’s nothing in there.
There’s nothing in there.

Where’s he hidden it.
