Step through this trampled wall
   The unhinged door betrays it all
   That far within our faith we were all waiting
   The broken glass reflects the haze
   It shines like endless holy days
   Struggling to remember what they're celebrating
  
   Well, a God descended
   And the reason ended
   His life was lifted just above the law
   And now we have to live with what we did
   With what we saw
  
   Well, you mend your clothes and patch your roof
   And slivers of God's shattered truth
   Grow tender as the grass in clean-swept yards
   But a savior came and told us how
   The truth was all around us now
   Abandon house and field and gather up the shards
  
   Well, a God descended
   And the reason ended
   His life was lifted just above the law
   And now we have to live with what we did
   With what we saw
  
   Well, you build your faith with strength and duty
   Build your love but there's a beauty
   Well you know the scriptures tell
   There are a few shards left in hell
   And if we want a god we had to follow, follow him down
  
   Pictures torn out of their frames
   And orgies where we lost our names
   All were gone with time's real desire
   Well, you ask how God can curse you thus
   That's not a question asked by us
   We burned our beds and books
   We fear we've lost the fire
  
   The God descended
   And the reason ended
   His life was lifted just above the law
   And now we have to live with what we did
   With what we saw . . .
