Oh Lord... condemned to meaning... Brothers and sisters, lift your hands through the smoke! Even the rust remembers the rain! There’s a hymn inside this machine! No hymn, brother — only hum. The world is not what I think, but what I live through! These gears don’t praise — they grind. And I dance in their rhythm — unafraid! The light may flicker, but His sun still burns! (Amen!) In the depth of winter, within me lies an invincible summer! (Hallelujah!) Can’t you feel it? The mercy in the noise! The Holy Ghost in the piston’s hiss! Mercy’s a mask we made ourselves, preacher! We are condemned to meaning, not saved from it! We invent the choir just to keep from screaming! Oh Lord, oh Lord — keep from screaming! Oh Lord, oh Lord — keep from screaming! Faith through fire! Flesh through wire! Every spark a prayer! Every prayer — a pyre! Hallelujah to the circuit and the soul! Amen to the void that makes it whole! I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom! No chains — not even golden ones! No heaven above to measure my will! (Free me now!) Freedom without faith — that’s a furnace, son! You’ll burn your own shadow for warmth! Change your life today! (Today!) Act now, without delay! Don’t gamble your soul... on chance and despair... Don’t gamble your soul... on chance and despair... The body is the temple! The body is our general medium for having a world! Then worship the world! I do — in every scream, in every silence! You blaspheme! I breathe... (breathe... breathe...) We are condemned to meaning! Condemned to love in static! Condemned to hope through noise! Hallelujah in the machinery! Amen in the void... The only way to deal with an unfree world... ...is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Then let my rebellion... be praise. We are condemned... to meaning... Condemned... to meaning...
