— Why of the sheep do you not learn peace?
— Because I don`t want you to shear my fleece.
— I may be a Socialist but I'm not a lunatic.
— I'm not sure Papa knows the difference.
— But I think we could say if everything went according to plan, we could return your reputation and your virginity to you.
— You could do that?
— Oh, yes. We are the Catholic Church. We can do anything.
They knew how to live with nature and get along with nature.
They didn’t try too hard to be all men and no animal.
That’s the mistake we made when Darwin showed up.
We embraced him and Huxley and Freud, all smiles.
And then we discovered that Darwin and our religions didn’t mix.
Or at least we didn’t think they did, We were fools.
We tried to budge Darwin and Huxley and Freud.
They wouldn’t move very well.
So, like idiots, we tried knocking down religion.
We succeeded pretty well.
We lost our faith and went around wondering what life was for.
If art was no more than a frustrated outflinging of desire, if religion was no more than self-delusion, what good was life?
Faith had always given us answers to all things.
But it all went down the drain with Freud and Darwin.
We were and still are a lost people.
I did not run to you,
Lost on my road of ruin
I did not run to you,
In my Godless run.
Long had I gone to be
A slave to my eyes,
Lost at that cross to kneel
Amazing grace saved my life...
No, I cannot breath no more,
No, I cannot breath no more,
No, I cannot feel for sure.
No, no I cannot breath no more.
Oh how long, Lord?
Did I kneel at the crossroads and run!
Oh, bow down now,
My king, my God, I come!
