The derelict

You’ve lulled yourself into complacency
But the safety you feel is all in your head
Step down from your pulpit
Look and see the generation that you’ve left for dead
Look and see the generation that you’ve left for dead

Tear the veil from your eyes
And see that this is a war of attrition
No father, tear the veil from their eyes
Give me strength to light the flame that will burn their world
(Tear the veil from your eyes, and you will see
The generation you have left for dead, you have
Chosen to sit and watch from the sidelines

You have forsaken your purpose. Everywhere I turn
My brothers, my sisters, all your
Children have closed their eyes, they have
Lost their focus, their hearts have grown cold
Just say the word and I will light the flame that will burn their world)

You have fought the battle and bear the scars
And they turned you away cause you’re dangerous
But look around, you are not alone
You have fought the battles and bear the scars
And they turned you away because you’re dangerous
But look around, you are not alone

We will live forever!
Too many times have I seen someone come to you for guidance
Only to find a congregation who have turned their backs
Have you forgotten it’s not your place to turn his children away?
You cast judgment on the scars that mark them
You will burn
Father, everywhere I turn
Your people have closed their eyes
