Bad Religion - The Quickening Lyrics

The quickening is an ephemeral thing 
That only happens in the dark 
Like catching lightning in a jar 
And the pain that it brings 
Is just the promise of spring 
It’s madness on the wing
Oh, what does it mean… 

To come alive 
To come alive 
To come alive 
(To come alive) To come alive 
To come alive 
To come alive 

The entering is soulful conjecturing 
Oh, lost and by the wind-grieved coast 
Please come back to me again 
Because the way that she bleeds 
is in the law that he reads
Confusing words and deeds 
So what does it mean… 

to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 

To pierce the wein of the sacred and profain 
Poor science, in the service of a faith 
But who will bear the mark of Cain? 


to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive 
to come alive
