The Pedestal - Revised

The pedestal stands empty!
Bring us the actors, the athletes the artists
Bring us the soldiers, the singers, the studious
Bring us the businessmen, the builders the boats-men
The pedestal stands empty
It needs to be filled.

That pedestal stands empty!
Bring us the heaters, the houses, the homes
Bring us the castle, the kingdom the keep
Bring us the mountains, the moonlight the mist
The pedestal stands empty
It needs to be filled

This pedestal stands empty!
Bring us the adventure, the action, the awesome
Bring us the mystic, the malevolent, the mission
Bring us the secret, the sneaky, the silent
The pedestal stands empty
It needs to be filled.

The pedestal stands empty!
Have you heard what I said?
Niche has told, our old God is dead
The pedestal stands empty
It needs to be filled
It needs something holy
But not the Holy we have killed
The pedestal stands empty!
It needs to be filled.
