about

Originally written for Ataraxia II, but stylistically didn't seem to fit. So then added to The Ways of Old EP as part of a compilation of digitally released singles.

lyrics

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)
