Sacred

[Verse 1]
In a hall full of people who turn to look
At the light
And your god’s telling you you should bite the hook
Then pulls the line

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
Pull the line, pull the line, pull the line
Pull the line

[Verse 1]
And the doctor says there is no guarantee
We’ll be fine
But your god’s hanging over your mental pleas
So pray for time

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodnight, say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight
You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine
Pay your fine

[Chorus]
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn’t be taken

You and I both know
Heaven’s above us
Who’s gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know
What you’re sacrificing
What is there left to give up?

[Verse 2]
If the altar was covered in remedies
Cut and dried
Then you’d find me reciting the rosary
By the side

All the saints aren’t around anymore
What a shame
But the shrine to the right of your door
Keeps you sane

[Chorus]
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn’t be taken

You and I both know
Heaven’s above us
Who’s gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know
What you’re sacrificing
What is there left to give up?

[Bridge]
Oh, the lightning
Strikes in the center of dry fields
Rolls through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch

So the scripture
Lent a predictable picture
Of how we’ve come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm

Oh, the lightning
Strikes in the center of dry fields
Runs through the town in a wildfire
As we all watch from the porch

So the scripture
Lent a predictable picture
Of how we’ve come to extinction
Caught in the eye of the storm

[Chorus]
You and I both know
Nothing is sacred
Nothing so good that it wouldn’t be taken

You and I both know
Heaven’s above us
Who’s gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing
Someone is driving
Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know
What you’re sacrificing
What is there left to give up?
