lyrics

Another morning, I've lived to see another day
the demon did not take me away in my sleep
mommy and daddy's perfect daughter is thrilled
mother and father say I must never go to the basement
for if I do, my life is at risk
so for them, I'll be a good child
do as I'm told, no matter what
"I'm following the light of the Lord's chosen path"

CHORUS

"We're all just following the light of faith in God"

my home is beautiful, we must protect it
father wore his hands down to minced meat to build it
mother barely bit the bullet by beating insanity
but my brother, of him I'm not so sure
he says all the right words, goes through the motions,
but I don't trust him
he's not a soldier of God
a common peasant, he'd rather fill his head with
garbage from the television and literature
he believes what others tell him, if his heart agrees
father and mother say he can still be saved, though
maybe the demon in the basement is possessing his mind
we're losing him, my God, we're losing him
