lyrics

When they fed you to the lions, did you die a peaceful death? Did you wander through the desert always hoping for the best? Sacrifice your only son to a king you've never seen? With love so unconditional I've only chased it in my dreams?

See, I've met so many just like you, born and born again, soliciting and petitioning
to cleanse the world of sin. I've met so many just like you who bear their crosses with a grin. Forcing all they wish was true on backs that just won't bend. Hearts you just can't mend.

For heaven's sake, you'll carry all of your mistakes to the grave. And your prayers will lose all meaning. Just desperate pleas cried to an empty ceiling.

How could every single hardship you've ever had to face come bundled with a silver lining and a saving grace? You see, to me you're nothing more than an orphan of your faith, always hoping that one day you'll get to see your father's face.

I've come to terms with my mistakes and I won't stop pushing forward until I find my way.

So now i'll keep my invocations to myself in hopes they'll "rot with me in hell". I don't need this as a crutch. I won't grovel for your love. When you've always let me down
faster than the setting sun.

Now I'm just waiting for the day that we'll be judged the same. No sinners. No saints. No gods. No gates. Just an even playing field. Just the ground on which we lay.

For heaven's sake, you'll carry all of your mistakes to the grave. And your prayers will lose all meaning. Just desperate pleas cried to an empty ceiling.

For 40 days and 40 nights, I searched for heaven in the sky. Sought out a sense of solace, foraged for a piece of mind. So in the six days you created, I'll destroy your fabrications, and on the seventh day I'll rest assured, forgetting everything I learned. Still waiting for the things I've earned as the tables refuse to turn. My life's no longer your concern.
