Song lyrics

Oh, sweet thing
Zion doesn't love you,
And Babylon don't love you,
But you love everything.
Oh, you saint,
America don't love you,
So I could never love you
In spite of everything.

In the dark of this place
There's the glow of your face,
There's the dust on the screen
Of this broken machine,
And I can't help but feel
That I've made some mistake,
But I let it go.
Ya Hey! [3x:]

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name,
Only "I am that I am",
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey x2)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey.
Ut Deo, Deo.

Oh, the motherland don't love you,
The fatherland don't love you.
So why love anything?
Oh, good God,
The faithless they don't love you,
The zealous hearts don't love you,
And that's not gonna change.

All the cameras and files,
All the paranoid styles,
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career.
And I can't help but feel
That you see the mistake
But you let it go
Ya Hey (x3)

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey x2)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey.
Ut Deo, Deo.

Outside the tents, on the festival grounds,
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down,
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning "Israelites"
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown".

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey x2, Ut Deo, ya hey x2)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name,
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey x2)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey.
Ut Deo, Deo.

[2x:]
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name,
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
Ut Deo, Ya Hey.
Ut Deo, Deo.
