In The Wake Of Adversity Lyrics

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
                              they don't realise
                    that the angels surround you with light
                             they don't understand
                their narrow ways defeat them where they stand
                              they don't realise
                 you hide the sadness beneath a painted smile.

                                  Ignorance,
                   that line of fools steers a wayward path
     and set the course upon which we sing into the night of uncertainty.
                              Following the stars
                      that make their way across the sky
                               valuing the love
                         that land brings to our eyes
                                  We sail...
