Changing one's beliefs.

do not fear those madmen 

in their pulpits raving madness 

say goodbye to worldly vows 

and angels waiting in the clouds 

you're too old for all of that 

it's over, relax 

i hear a dove-drawn chariot 

coming through the canceled streets of fire 

it will take you to the shuttered side of Paradise 

where to dream would be base madness 

from now on there will be 

only the cool touch of sand on your lips 

angels withdrawn hollow-eyed 

and eternity will not move you one small inch 

nor will time remember 

that once you laughed a golden tear
