shed a tear for the criminal, give him something to believe
  light a fire for the miserable, give the darkness some meaning
  closed wounds harbor pestilence, when you lick them from within
  charity has a redolence chastity cannot rescind
    spirit shine, it's a sign
  of a troubled mind (tortured mind)
  spirit shine all the time
  can render you blind
    you can take it all to heart or throw it all away
  you can give until you're dry and sucked of all your gleam
  you can fake another cry and compromise your dream
    cling tight to the parable - let it dominate your life
  create a God who's infallible - give your leader some respite
  clouds wounds harbor pestilence - when you lick them from within
  rosy smiles lose their radience - when you take it on the chin
