"Idols and Images"

Idols and images
Tidals of visages
Flooding into your very soul
Value in visibles
Placed onto pedestals
Inside your heart, cast into gold
Oh no

We give away
To every name below
The name above

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We turn from you

Idols in media
Restless in keeping up
With every fleeting fad and trend
Idols in our own selves
All that we buy and sell
When will our iconism end

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We take from you

Idealism, in our vision
Giving fame to imperfection
Giving all of our affection away
Give us sight, a new direction
Can't keep traveling in this one
No, no

[chorus]
Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
Belongs to you

Glory
Glory
Where glory's due
Glory
Glory
We give to you
We give to you
