Thoughts At 2am

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
