lyrics

The Pit gives and the pit takes away
It's always been inclined towards the latter way
There's a line of eager seedlings in a plowed furrow
And a storm's a 'brewin the addled burrow

We'll give you free reign and offer what you please
Ignorance - the vector and you are the disease
No theologian could ever diagnose this malady
And no god could ever realign our jumbled circuitry

It'll swallow us up... if it's not filled in

The pit wants what the pit wants

A child scattered all across the breeding ground
A fertile mind nourished with salt and light around
Balizet, Robidoux enlighten us our qualms
We put ourselves above the very ground we walk upon

It'll swallow us up... if it's not filled in

The pit wants what the pit wants wants
