From the recording Hidden Doors
Lyrics
TO DENY IT
there's no holy man just a dangerous lie
the bigger the saint the more dirt you'll find
you may say you're flawed, there's no shame in that
say you're weak sometimes, I won't turn my back
there's no holy man
we're all prey to the same mistakes
and to deny it, to deny it, to deny it isn't right
and we feel betrayed when our heroes fall
when the weight of our reverence
shows they were human after all
and to deny it, to deny it, to deny it
isn't right . . .
when I look back now
I have made mistakes
I have started fires
yes there are burnt things in my wake
but you can't walk this plane
without bearing scars
can't escape the stain
of this world of ours
I have done you wrong
and I wish that I had not
but to deny it, to deny it, to deny it
isn't right . . .
