lyrics

two wise man sat down to talk, to learn from sane debate
one found some contradiction in a point the other made
this petty disagreement led the wise men to a duel
and, watching from a distance, a fool laughed at these fools

for beneath the starry ceiling, where love and law are tied
their own opinions mock them as truth is what they tried
to describe

a pop singer and a poet both think they have it right
while one’s off sketching outlines, the other shines a light
the audience watch far too close, see truth in the mundane
mistake one for the other and believe they are the same

beneath the starry ceiling, where love and law are tied
their own opinions mock them as truth is what they tried
to describe

you may need an army to celebrate your day
or you may need a book of quotes to say what you would say
you may not find your peace and quiet while searching out a light
you may not reach your lonely goals when victory is in sight

but beneath the starry ceiling, where love and law are tied
your own opinions mock you as truth is what you tried
to describe

yes beneath the starry ceiling, where love and law are tied
our own opinions mock us as truth is what we’ve tried
to describe
