Here, all alone, on this empty street
Listen, to the Stones, 'cause it's on repeat
A shepherd into purgatory
Like a lonely god for none to see
Drifting into distant memories
Build it piece by piece each day
A place where everyone must be
But no one really wants to stay
Once everybody's had their say
Society has gone astray
How, is he different in this place
What, will they do when they see his face
A promise that he wants to say
The promise that sent them away
Drifting into distant enemies
Build it piece by piece each day
A place where everyone must be
But no one really wants to stay
Once everybody's had their say
Society has gone astray
Deserted shrine
See the dirt and dusk fall down
All around again
There's no temple left but sin
Hey! They wanna see
Hey! Just hear them bleat
How do gods expect to live
When coins and smoke are all they give
In the end it all comes down to this
Deserted shrine
See the dirt and dusk fall down
All around again
There's no temple left but sin
