about

Ministry is the softest, most mellow track on The Solomon Project. It also has some of my favorite lyrical moments. But I'm not going to say what it's about - that's for you to uncover.

lyrics

He's gone and left you
Says that you can't relate
And open up a little
Stuck against my skin

There's something slippery
Spark, a shudder
Deaf and damp and waiting for a breath
Before I'm in again

And all the murmurs in the world
Are just a whisper in my ear
I'd rather stay right here

I swallow sick
And beg forgiveness
Don't you know I've aching penance knees
At night I bow my head

I know he said
That you don't understand
I hear you whisper in my ear
I'd rather keep you here

Don't want to give you to nobody else

There's something slippery
Spark, a shudder
Burning ears and keenly listening
Like the animal I am

I darkly wait
Against the rhythm
Deaf and damp and waiting for a breath
Before I'm in again

And all the murmurs in the world
Are just a whisper in my ear
I'd rather stay right here

I want to keep you all to myself
Don't want to give you to nobody else
