Clips, images torn
sounds of a broken horn
floating in my brain
they try in vain
to take human form
a fragmented father
a forgotten god
erected for worship
an idol in the place of God
I speak to it, I give thanks to it
I even give my 10 percent to it
But like the idols of Baal
My prayer is to no avail
time after time I fail
But a lifeless god is safer than a living god right?
A lifeless god, I can control
I am free to be who I want to be
Free from the eyes of the divine always watching me
Free from a voice
commanding me
Free from a presence that is surrounding me
I am free…right?
You see I sit in these pews
Get on my knees
Close my eyes and wish to see
This lifeless idol speak to me
To look at me
to comfort me
to fight for me
and die for me
I squint harder try harder
But this darkness can’t get darker
I open my eyes and see a man
Standing in white with eyes of fire
He looks at me and says to me
Son I’ve sought for you
I’ve fought for you
And died for you
Open your eyes
And turn your ears
To the living God
Who casts your fears
Take my hand and follow me
And I will set you free.
