Greenish Pools - With Respect To The Sun Lyrics

The hated him
Scoffed at his ideas
Banished him to the street
He wore a cone hat and the robe of a sick man
Don't listen to this man
They kicked him
They beat him
They tried to tell him what to believe
The earth was against him
So he must go beyond
So he did

And the sun shined
And the sun shined
And the sun shined
And the sun

He walked as far as his legs would take him
His body was failing
He knew he wouldn't last much longer
The answer was beyond him
He built a fire
Where he stood
He pulled a dagger
From his robe
And while he burned
He took it
And plunged it into his chest

And the sun shined
And the sun shined
And the sun shined
And the sun

He smiled at the sun
And looked into its eye
And with his dying breath
His soul began to climb

He was once a stupid man
With a cone on his head
They thought they were right
But he was right instead

All down below
The people couldn't see
They would never know
They could never be free

Free
