In the absence of faith In the interest of haste In the hopes of praise I'll sing your fears Caught in the cyclone of old haunted dreams Like a shadow carousel or so it seems As you take it all in stride The wind at your back Embrace another night Before you put your hands in the fire In the absence of faith In the interest of haste In the hopes of praise I'll sing your fears In the dark of space Burns the brightest blaze Through a trial of grace I'll save you from your fears Out of the silo climb elated dreams Like a fallen empire newly redeemed As we serenade our lies The wind whispers back Sing this lullaby Before you put your hands in the fire In the absence of faith In the interest of haste In the hopes of praise I'll sing your fears In the dark of space Burns the brightest blaze Through a trial of grace I'll save you from your fears
