Christian Animation Torch Carriers

Taken from "Universal Truths and Cycles" 2002

"Sometimes her mother will work with her
But There's nothing wrong with her
There's nothing wrong with her
There's nothing wrong

So such is life that it writes itself
Trying to right itself
But There's nothing wrong with it
There's nothing wrong

And every single day without much to say
These apparitions raise a toast to their kind

The people who are these things
Are not afraid with you
And caring must go with the wisdom
Of their selections

Never can touch their sign language
So is the cost of sound barriers
Even as though she's still searching
For a cloud with a silver lining
We pray for her
She's burning slow
Out on a mission's light

Christian animation torch carriers
This is a shallow hole but faith makes it safe
Hiding inside a grave with no sound
No witness to see
With or without you

Christian animation torch carriers
However will you learn their sign language
However will you try to hide
Within their eyes?
Within them in life?"

A spooky sounding start to this classic later period GBV. The main song is a choppy staccato style that would later become prevalent in his Solo work. Some nice keyboards and a good song with a Kick-Ass Chorus. The song eventually builds to a great swirling climax. Great stuff.
