Here I stand
|
||
|
|
High strung and alone
|
||
|
|
In the court of your Lord's most forgotten son
|
||
|
|
Tell me witness, what's the difference between addiction to truth and conviction?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The difference must lie in the actions
|
||
|
|
Spread across a person's life
|
||
|
|
Did it prove to be obsession?
|
||
|
|
Compelled to condemn what they don't agree with
|
||
|
|
Endlessly driven toward the "right"
|
||
|
|
A creeping sickness afflicting the others' lives
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With proclamations of derision and disgrace
|
||
|
|
Instead of offering an alternate way
|
||
|
|
You shot us in the foot before we'd even begun to race!
|
||
|
|
Conviction stands as a guiding rudder
|
||
|
|
Through this world's turbulence, storms, and thunder
|
||
|
|
The helm turns according the movements of our hearts
|
||
|
|
(This vessel dives and darts)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See conviction wells up inside, an imprint from above
|
||
|
|
Seeks to reject injustice and not to judge
|
||
|
|
Works to fix the things that are broken
|
||
|
|
Walks in humble regard to their fellow man
|
||
|
|
And never forgets that the greatest law is Love
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The difference must lie in the actions
|
||
|
|
(Was it out of Love or hate?)
|
||
|
|
Did it prove to be obsession?
|
||
|
|
(Looking at the walls you've made)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I fell down there was no regret
|
||
|
|
Just that lack of laughter, plus my newfound debt
|
||
|
|
Be it freedom or a shortened spine,
|
||
|
|
Us broken heathens have learned to lie to ourselves
|
||
|
|
|
||
