Have you heard -
the prayer for words
and tears falling unjustly
the cry for the meek
and the unbeliever's advice to the world
the pain of desire
of a damned soul on fire
- and a world humbled in ruins
for want of a cause
and a belief in it all
- the soldiers burned the runes
Were you told -
it had all gone to hell
and you would be left behind
it had all been sold
for face of a soul's reverie
the rain of the cloud's
fell all around
- drenching the dream's embers
the "god", soldiers and clowns
all jested around
- with everything you held dear
Why were you told that
You had been promised the world
And if you had suffered you
Would one day be healed
Why did they tell you that
You only had to close your eyes
And ears to the sins that
They had baptized over you
Why did you listen
And hear only the call of them
- that the sound would
Hopefully deafen them all?
