The Ways of Old

This world is evil
Purge the earth
Of all unrighteous filth
Bring forth a fresh plague
That life may begin anew
Cleanse this sphere
Let natures course consume
May those that remain
Inherit terra firma pure
We are a cancer
Devouring, destroying
The soil, water, air
Despite ourselves
We are the cure
If returned to the natural ways
A divine order of old
Set in place by our creator

Time is genocide
Of all my dreams
With age and wisdom
I now abort them
To alleviate their birth pain
Too many seeds planted
Too little harvest to show
My ambitions withered
My spirit broke
With each new day
I lament the rising sun
It’s golden light a beacon
For the death of yesterday
Dusk brings mourning
Buried in darkness
It’s ghosts will haunt me
With all that is left in shade
I will seek to bear witness
To days without names
Taste the blood of a savior
Living water flowing
From a ne’er ending stream

A Primal Urge
06:41
|

Yahweh Shalom
Lord of light and peace
That thou would grant me
Wisdom and strength
So I may stand, withstand
And restrain
My tongue as it burns
With rage
Desires unholy, unrighteous
To vindicate and defend
Your kingdom, my belief
(Chorus)
A primal urge to call down fire
When quenching divisive flames
Would be the desire of thee
I ought sow seeds of love
While these times cultivate hate
I grow weary of turning
The other cheek
Being struck down, being meek
The putrid stench of false piety
Is more than I can bear
Yet I - no better - dare not intervene
With indignation
A sorrow born of disgust
Dare I internalize attacks on you
As a personal aggression against me?
(Chorus)
