As The World Bleeds by Theocracy
Why do we only call Your name when there's no one else to call?
And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
Why do we say You've failed us and You've turned Your eyes away
When we're only sleeping in the bed we made?
Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
Why's the path we've made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
Why'd we ignore the warnings that we've read and always known
And get angry when we reap the things we've sown?
So we blame You
‘Cause our world's not come out right
While the devil's masquerading
As an angel of the light
Just imagine
All the pride and all the nerve
To ask where You've been, when we're the ones we serve
It's not a mystery, it's been foretold
But we ignored the warning bell so long ago
There's a way that seems right unto men, but we'll die with the wages of sin
As the world lies bleeding
The giant is no longer sleeping
Poisoned harvest reaping
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
Gone
We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say
Then curse the skies when You don't come clean up the ugly mess we've made
But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the bloodstains on the bed
Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control
As the world lies bleeding
The giant is no longer sleeping
All we've sown now reaping
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
