lyrics
Anatolia
Moving through the empty places
Confused by all the open spaces
Climb the hill to reach the chapel
The leaves are scorched within the dappled lighting on the ground
Writing now a book for those to learn
I devise a way to share the only Word
To give them clarity in everything they've heard
With faithless charity they open up and find it all absurd
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the virgins waiting for your call
Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia!
Moving through the open spaces
Confused by all the empty places
Climb the hill to reach the chapel
The leaves are scorched within the dapple lighting on the ground
Tearing up the Book for no one learns
I declare the fear to share that everybody yearns
To take their charity and throw it on the ground
With faithful clarity we hear the fighting in the desert sound
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall
Warmer than the leatherette, paler than the virgins waiting for your call
Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia!
Moving through the empty places
Confused by all the open spaces
Climb the hill to reach the chapel
The leaves are scorched within the dappled lighting on the ground
Writing now a book for those to learn
I devise a way to share the only Word
To give them clarity in everything they've heard
With faithless charity they open up and find it all absurd
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the virgins waiting for your call
Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia!
Moving through the open spaces
Confused by all the empty places
Climb the hill to reach the chapel
The leaves are scorched within the dapple lighting on the ground
Tearing up the Book for no one learns
I declare the fear to share that everybody yearns
To take their charity and throw it on the ground
With faithful clarity we hear the fighting in the desert sound
Whiter than the minaret, paler than the Virgin painted on the wall
Warmer than the leatherette, paler than the virgins waiting for your call
Anatolia! Anatolia! Anatolia!
