Lyrics:

The quickening is an ephemeral thing
That only happens in the dark
Like catching lightning in a jar
And the pain that it brings
Is just the promise of spring
Its madness on the way
Oh, what does it mean

To come alive
To come alive
To come alive
(To come alive) To come alive
To come alive
To come alive

The entering is soulful conjecturing
Oh, lost and by the wind-grieved coast
Please come back to me again
Because the way that she bleeds
Hell sit alone when he reads
Confusing words and deeds
So what does it mean

chorus

To pierce the fame of the sacred and profane
For science, in service of the faith
But who will bear the mark of Cain?

chorus

LMAO @ 0:20. What was the original song they were playing that made him make that face?

[BringBRToTheUK]

LA is burning I think it's the bit where he goes: 'the cameras running, so take warning'

[JohnZackarias]

The Quickening!

Damn, that's a nice find.

[allfantasticimages]

Great solo in this. The best of any Bad Religion song.

[ash0ppingcart]

Damn, I didn't even know they thought about playing this song live! Love this song!

[bowlsallbroken]

Absolutely correct, but of course the lyrics function on multiple levels. Who thumbed this comment down?

[gjr1978]

what do you think it's about?

[Iamkl132]

Is it? I don't think so...

[gjr1978]

Bad Religion are one of the best punk bands of all time.
