[00:54.03]Words get written. Words get twisted.
[01:00.54]Old meanings move in the drift of time.
[01:06.76]Lift the flickering torches. See gentle shadows change
[01:12.60]The features of the faces cut in unmoving stone.
[01:19.08]Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one’s listening.
[01:24.30]Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
[01:49.19]True disciples carrying that message
[01:54.66]To colour just a little with their personal touch.
[02:01.04]Home-spun fancy weavers and naked half-believers —
[02:07.79]Crusades and creeds descend like fiery flakes of snow.
[02:13.99]Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one’s listening.
[02:20.53]Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
[02:27.41]Roots to branches
[02:30.06]Roots to branches
[02:33.19]Roots to branches
[03:13.97]In wet and windy priest-holes. Grand in vast cathedrals.
[03:19.59]High on lofty minarets or in the temples of doom.
[03:25.44]I hope the old man’s got his face on.
[03:29.00]He’d better be some quick change artist.
[03:32.31]Suffer little children to make their minds up soon.
[03:38.49]Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one’s listening.
[03:44.61]Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
[03:51.72]Roots to branches
[03:55.00]Roots to branches
[03:58.23]Roots to branches
[04:31.15]Roots to branches
[04:33.80]Roots to branches
[04:36.92]Roots to branches
[05:07.92]
