No Avalon (Demo) Lyrics

I'm just a white girl
From a small safe town
What could I possibly know about destruction
My lawn sure looks green today
Underneath these suburban skies
But the little boy next door
wants to be the Lord of the flies
It's like Cain and Abel
and the Holy sacrifice
and I have to believe that God has closed His eyes
And if there is no Avalon
and we only have one life
then it's hard to conceive why we'd let our brothers die

My bed is so safe here
But my rose-colored glasses are broken
and how the truth leaks in
And I can't imagine
I saw it on the news tonight
They didn't announce his name
I saw the blood on his hands and they told me to look away
I tell you it's like Cain and Abel
and the Holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed His eyes
And if there is no Avalon
and we only have one life
Then it's hard to conceive why we'd let our sisters die
Die...why...why...why-ohhh
It's a confused civilization darling

I tell you it's like Cain and Abel
and the Holy sacrifice
and I have to believe that God has closed His eyes
And there is no Avalon
and we only have one life
it's hard to conceive why we'd let our people die
We'd let them die...we watch them die...die
