The Absence of Light (feat. Jamie Hanks)

God above
I saw them suffer
I heard them calling for you with the last of their strength
"Why am I here, Lord what have I done"

Almighty, is there not bloodlust in your eyes
Do you rejoice as we are reduced to nothing

Are we not born into damnation
From forever, until the end of time
Rotting
Forgotten

Your bastard son decays for nothing Thrown unto the wolves
All for our sins
All for our sins
Are we to suffer the same fate
Will you turn away
Until the end
Until the fucking end

All hope is
Dead

This life,
Painted as a blessing
Such vivid shades
Such an elegant lie

Stripping back the layers
Of this portrait
I find naught but suffering
Cleverly disguised

Father why have you forsaken us
Prodigal sons and daughters

Crucified

The shepherd, the lamb
Absent from this place
Absent from this place
