The Approach Bad Religion

[Verse 1]
An apocryphal popular mythology
Or a civilization in wane
Whatever your assessment is, a paradox remains
There's a moral and intellectual vacuum
And you’re right to be lookin' askance
Philosophically moribund, revolution hasn't a chance

[Chorus]
As the lights fade, shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion, we approach the darkest hour
Woah-oh, ho, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Is the enemy hidin’ in your conscience?
Can forgiveness pave the way?
There's gotta be a place for them if tomorrow's a better day
With the high priest bangin' on the war drum
You cannot make out what he's sayin'
With all the litter on the battlefields, no higher ground remains

[Chorus]
As the lights fade, shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion, we approach the darkest hour
One, two
