Torches

I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth
 (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth)
 It's got you burning at the stake
 Innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take
 And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all
 (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all)
 As he sets our torch aflame
 Chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create
 ♪
 Over and over, again
 We keep that old wheel turning
 We spin it around
 ♪
 I got a terror I can't shake pushing down on my lungs
 (Pushing down on my lungs, pushing down on my lungs)
 It's got me lying there awake with a hand
 on a gun while turning shadows into shapes
 Mother Fortuna, O, she makes sisters of us all
 (Sisters of us all, sisters of us all)
 When the faces in her wake
 Look more like our own than the effigies we immolate
 Over and over, again
 We keep that old wheel turning
 Over and over, again
 We lay the next spoke down
 Over and over, again (oceans will roll in)
 Over and over, again
 ♪
 We spin it around
