close reading

we scour the marrow of each holy text

to find the hidden meaning but there's none

we want so much to bring into the sun


 

the matters that so many folk perplexed

to hear the shouts of thank you and well-done

we scour the marrow of each holy text


 

expecting that we'll know what will come next

the secrets that the wisest shall have won

beyond the place there normal law can run

we scour the marrow of each holy text
