Guarding the carcass, we stripped and divided   To carve up and covet they wait there alone   Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten   And staring in silence from sockets of stone   Built and obeyed with the best of intentions   Stranger than truth and as lost and alone   Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger   No good to nothing not even their own         Holy-O-my God-I   can't see the stars in the sky   for the sun in my eye      She's like a dream that a world quit believin'   Caught in the action back to the sea   How many more might have come from that mountain?   Barely the creatures they struggled to be   Surely the death of so grand an illusion   Left us with legends too great to ignore   Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions   Lost in the wonder they came to explore.         Holy star light far brighter   than the sun in your eye   Singing thy will be done      Holy-O-my God-I   can't see the stars in the sky   for the sun in my eye      Holy star light far brighter   than the sun in your eye   Singing thy will be done
