Beneath the Foliage
Under the valley and over the hedge
Keeping the secrets we were fed
Over the seasons, over the clouds
We see the infinity of hungry mouths
Under the counter and over the hand
We bear witness to the music stand
Under the weather, under the sun
Absolution hasn’t begun
Search beneath the foliage to uncover yourself
Find all the mysteries history unread
Under the hands where we all stand
Stand proud of our tortured eyes
All glazed in a thick coat of wool
Remove if you will, we’ll all be the fool
Never ask a question; it will cost your life
Your master man will keep you alive
Show the world you have nothing to hide
Wear the hides of the friends who died
Listen to the people they have something to say
All they ever say is they are gay
Never known a man as great as you
Never fear brother, I will always be true
Never heard such a powerful name
So strong and proud, none the same
My life for you, you’ll surely tame
My child’s first word will be your name
Search beneath the foliage to uncover yourself
Find all the mysteries history unread
