In The Wake Of Adversity - Lyrics by Dead Can Dance


Lyrics
Dave: [I don't think it's Sacred Priests, doesn't sound right]
Bud: [ It does fit the song's meaning, if not the precise sound though. Pious priests, with their "narrow ways," wouldn't care at all to argue with you or I because they know they are right. And of course, the angels they pretend to know so much about, in reality, favour "us". But, these priests cannot see the inner man. But the song begins with the sound, "ey" or "hey". Comical. What do you think?
Sacred priests don't cry....(?) [____-tries] don't cry they've no reason to argue at all they don't realise that the angels surround you with light they don't understand their narrow ways defeat them where they stand they don't realise you hide the sadness beneath a painted smile. Ignorance, that line of fools steers a wayward path and set the course upon which we sing into the night of uncertainty. Following the stars that make their way across the sky valuing the love that land brings to our eyes We sail...
