Bad Religion - The Approach lyrics
[Bad Religion - The Approach lyrics]
An apocryphal popular mythology
Or a civilization in wane
Whatever your assessment is
A paradox remains
There's a moral and intellectual vacuum
And you’re right to be lookin' askance
Philosophically moribund
Revolution hasn't a chance
As the lights fade
Shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour
Woah oh, ho, oh oh
Is the enemy hidin’ in your conscience?
Can forgiveness pave the way?
There's gotta be a place for them
If tomorrow's a better day
With the high priest bangin' on the war drum
You cannot make out what he's sayin'
With all the litter on the battlefields
No higher ground remains
As the lights fade
Shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour one, two
Welcome to the show history took a toll
Discontent was sown
And now the child is grown
And come into his own, a superstar
But despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour
Woah oh-ho, ooh oh, oh oh oh, ho, oh oh
Or a civilization in wane
Whatever your assessment is
A paradox remains
There's a moral and intellectual vacuum
And you’re right to be lookin' askance
Philosophically moribund
Revolution hasn't a chance
As the lights fade
Shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour
Woah oh, ho, oh oh
Is the enemy hidin’ in your conscience?
Can forgiveness pave the way?
There's gotta be a place for them
If tomorrow's a better day
With the high priest bangin' on the war drum
You cannot make out what he's sayin'
With all the litter on the battlefields
No higher ground remains
As the lights fade
Shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour one, two
Welcome to the show history took a toll
Discontent was sown
And now the child is grown
And come into his own, a superstar
But despite all illusion
We approach the darkest hour
Woah oh-ho, ooh oh, oh oh oh, ho, oh oh
