Atheist's upbeat christmas song.
And it weaves like a river
No-one knows where it goes
It's been flowing forever
And there's diamonds and rubble
Carried high in the stream
And there's love and there's trouble
Every curse, every dream
And the devils will rescue
And the angels condemn
And it's me and it's you
And it's us or it's them
It's as deep as your soul
It's as wide as your mind
It's as bright as your hope
And it's as dark as the night
And there's tenderness flowing
From hearts that are broken
From the dagger that's thrown
When fond words are spoken
And it's one against all
And it's all against one
And it's all that we've lost
And it's all that we've won
It's the highest of mountains
It's the wave that is breaking
It's the driest of fountains
It's hell in the making
We're all of us strangers
The light of all knowing
The child in the manger
All mystery flowing
We're the bud that is blooming
The train that's just leaving
The promise that's looming
And the heart that's deceiving
And you and I live here
As holy as sorrow
In a blasphemous dream
In this dance with tomorrow
Where there's steps without end
Down the razor's edge trail
Round the burning bush bend
To the castle of veils
And it's christmas on earth
There are signs everywhere
There are stars giving birth
In the ocean of flames

Sea Without Shores
It's a sea without shoresAnd it weaves like a river
No-one knows where it goes
It's been flowing forever
And there's diamonds and rubble
Carried high in the stream
And there's love and there's trouble
Every curse, every dream
And the devils will rescue
And the angels condemn
And it's me and it's you
And it's us or it's them
It's as deep as your soul
It's as wide as your mind
It's as bright as your hope
And it's as dark as the night
And there's tenderness flowing
From hearts that are broken
From the dagger that's thrown
When fond words are spoken
And it's one against all
And it's all against one
And it's all that we've lost
And it's all that we've won
It's the highest of mountains
It's the wave that is breaking
It's the driest of fountains
It's hell in the making
We're all of us strangers
The light of all knowing
The child in the manger
All mystery flowing
We're the bud that is blooming
The train that's just leaving
The promise that's looming
And the heart that's deceiving
And you and I live here
As holy as sorrow
In a blasphemous dream
In this dance with tomorrow
Where there's steps without end
Down the razor's edge trail
Round the burning bush bend
To the castle of veils
And it's christmas on earth
There are signs everywhere
There are stars giving birth
In the ocean of flames
