Triumph of What Lyrics

While you all
were forced to see:
Unless you're Pol Pot you ain't no ace of spades

I was down by the lake,
across the meadows to the east
I contemplated how long it would take until tide

DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT
CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
FACES IN SAND WASHED AWAY BY THE SEA, IT'S GETTING DARKER
IF IT GETS DARKER STILL IT WOULD HELP IF YOU'D WAKE BY MY SIDE

CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
THERE MUST BE A LIGHT
TRIUMPH OF WHAT IF FREE WILL IS NOT, I FEEL IMPORTANT
BUT TOO MANY DEAD TREES MAKES ME NERVOUS AND I DON'T KNOW WHOM TO CALL

Boys and girls
with heads held high
singing top-ten hitlers while they multiplied

I can't stop the smell
from wherever I turn
Coming out of the fire you'll see why these things don't burn

DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT
CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
THE MOUNTAIN TOLD MUHAMMED: "NO I'M HAPPY WHERE I AM, IT'S GETTING DARKER
IF IT GETS DARKER STILL IT WOULD HELP IF YOU'D WAKE BY MY SIDE"

CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
THERE MUST BE A LIGHT
TRIUMPH OF WHAT IF FREE WILL IS NOT, IF THIS IS MY VOICE
THEN THE OTHERS ARE NOT, A USEFUL HING WHEN FINDING OUT WHO I AM
