Oh, God.

I’m not afraid to fight

But the prize isn’t worth the pain

Sitting here every night,

Watching you forget yesterday…

 

Stand up, show me what a man you are.

I won’t argue,

The words are false unless they fall

From your tongue

Oh God

I bow, no more.

Oh God

We’ve lost all belief in you.

 

So tell us our mistakes, offer us absolution

And deliver us from living all but the way you see fit

As you sit in your throne

Watching the world pass by,

Tell me how to live my life

Oh god, I will not bow to you again

Oh God, I’ve lost all faith in you…

In you…

 

I can see clearly now,

Your lies have fallen from before my eyes

Your kingdom is nothing more than a prison

Good God, we worshipped you

As you lie trapped by four walls and the present tense

I’m losing sight of what I saw in you.

So tell me my mistakes, Lord.

But tell me can you even see yours?

I can see the cracks in your castle

The walls are coming in,

And we are walking away, not running.

 

So I will tell you that you’re right,

Just to end this all tonight

No, I’m not afraid to fight

But the prize is worth the pain

And I fear this war will never end

No, I’m not afraid to fight.

No, I’m not afraid

But there’s no getting through to you

As you’re lost in the war of yesterday

Oh God, you are but a man.

Higher only in your own eye’s.
