Spirit Shine lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shed a tear for the criminal, give him something to believe
Light a fire for the miserable, give the darkness some meaning
Closed wounds harbor pestilence when you lick them from within
Charity has a redolence chastity cannot rescind

[Chorus]
Spirit shine, it's a sign
Of a tortured mind
Spirit shine all the time
Can render you blind

[Verse 2]
You can take it all to heart or throw it all away
You can call it just a lark or live your life that way
You can give until you're dry and sucked of all your gleam
You can fake another cry and compromise your dream

[Verse 3]
Cling tight to the parable, let it dominate your life
Create a God who's infallible, give your leader some respite
Closed wounds harbor pestilence when you lick them from within
Rosy smiles lose their radiance when you take it on the chin

[Chorus]
Spirit shine, it's a sign
Of a troubled mind
Spirit shine all the time
Can render you blind
