Lyrics

Graffiti
(Ha Ha) x4

Peel away the history, the layers on the wall

Images of conscience, familiar to us all

Snapshot of the common man, in the shadow of the King

Fear and superstition, where the angels come to sing



Every picture tells a story, of the minds and of the lives

Hidden from the glory, with compasses and knives

They make their mark on history, put their stamp on time

Power in the image, in the house of the divine


Chorus

Scratched symbols to deflect the charm

The Hexfoil and the Daisywheel, to keep us safe from harm



Lost within the lines, evil trapped for evermore

Endless geometric signs, rooted in folklore

Like marks of consecration, anointed on the wall

Carved by congregation, that history can recall

Repeat Chorus


Bridge

The demon ‘neath the pentangle, Maria by the door

Abound with superstition, true belief is at their core

In aisles and by the chapels, emboldened come what may

Protection from the darkness, and keep the witch at bay

Repeat Chorus x2
