Lyrics
"owl on the way"
if it's true, then i will wish i had believed
and if it's not, belief won't have hurt anything
so what would be the benefit in doubting it?
and how can i justify all this plundering?
-------
well, if i'm wrong then everything's still ok
but if i'm not my kids will be sorry
have i been given dominion over everything?
the appointed caretaker of the only known eden?
-------
will there be a redemption for man's betrayal of earth?
the world will just keep up its spinning
with no witness to the self-fulfilling curse
