You render your oppressors silent with your wordless eyes You own the life of every man from birth until he dies You see collective evil sway like ships upon the sea Like currents carried around the world by men so mindlessly Your enemies so fierce and cruel will one day all bow down And every tongue confess your name compelled to make a sound People sell philosophy like confidence men And so the blind lead all the blind into the ditch again The powers of the darkness try to swallow up the truth But in the end they find their lying mouth just lost a tooth The author of compassion has our pain beneath his skin And so the whole wide world upon his fingertip does spin I've fooled myself on purpose and I've been out on the run I've painted myself pictures where I could hide from what I've done But longingly the mighty one seeks me like a lost lamb And tenderly he calls and says his child is who I am Awake my heart, awake my heart, attune to hear his words Inside the great cacophony a single voice is heard You say your sheep will know your voice and will follow you And they will heed no other call besides the one that's true You watch as hearts grow harder and the lights of justice dim You see your children suffering and want to carry them The time is soon yet soon the cursed snake will lose effect And God Almighty's bride will have her foot upon his neck
