Acid Test

Watch the light
It's going out
Watch the light
It's going out

But the flowers are still standing
Even after the flesh is laid to rest
I thought it all was obvious
I thought we were making progress
And my spirit has been raptured
From an acid test
I thought it all was obvious
I just wanted a little silence

You don't really see me at all
I'm vanishing into the wall
Field of toxic rot

It's not the light
That's going out
It's not the light
That's going out

There's a mountain of truth
And there's a fountain of youth
And when there's nothing in our view
Let 'em fight
Let 'em fight
Let 'em fight
Let 'em fight

But the flowers are still standing
Even after the flesh is laid to rest
I thought it all was obvious
I thought we were making progress
And my spirit has been raptured
From an acid test
I thought it all was obvious
I just wanted a little silence

There's not an innocent one
There's not an innocent one
Have your head cut off
And get your eyes burnt out
And let them eat your skin
And spread your fat around
Now you got a one-way ticket to paradise
Yeah, we got a one-way ticket to paradise
