In The Wake Of Adversity Lyrics - Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun - Dead Can Dance

Dave: [I don't think it's Sacred Priests, doesn't sound right] 

Bud: [ It does fit the song's meaning, if not the precise sound 

though. Pious priests, with their "narrow ways," wouldn't 

care at all to argue with you or I because they know they 

are right. And of course, the angels they pretend to 

know so much about, in reality, favour "us". But, these 

priests cannot see the inner man. 

But the song begins with the sound, "ey" or "hey". Comical. 

What do you think? 

Sacred priests don't cry...(?) 

[____-tries] don't cry 

they've no reason to argue 

at all 

Change: Hey Patrice don't cry, 

they've no reason to harm you at all 

they don't realize 

that the angels surround you in light 

they don't understand 

their narrow ways defeat them where they stand 

they don't realize 

you hide your sadness beneath a painted smile. 

Ignorance, 

that blind old fool, steers a wayward path 

and set the course upon which we sing into a night of uncertainty 

Following the stars 

that make their way across the sky 

valuing the love 

that land brings to our eyes 

We sail...
