There's No Safe Place

Lightning flashed, unleashing nightmares with a thousand names
Gashed the remains of the kingdom that never came
Creatures of our image, we're crafting demise
Shadows wander and wind through treacherous eyes
Trust is not a renewable source like conflict
Or the lies that twist from the lips
And mar the consciousness with a corrosive kiss
Bullets wet with angel's bile, moulded by fingertips

Came from the roots, thrust down the river
Framed our pursuit, just to be delivered
Where we prepare, with dissolving prayers
Sanctuary escaped, there's no safe place

Now wealth and values cover the soil
But they don't serve a purpose, not anymore
A premonition paces in a destroyer's dance
The stare of a skull bears warnings of circumstance
And justice is not a renewable source like conflict
Or the lies that twist from the lips
And mar the consciousness with a thunderous cry
Another grinning blade plunged through bloodstained sunrise

Made to suffer through the thrash of the whirlpool
Persuaded to prefer and then slash the Golden Rule
No creeds prepared with unneeded prayers
Mercy has escaped, to where there's no safe place

There's no safe place, there's no right time
Behind a brave face, there's no right mind
There's no safe place, there's no right time
Behind a brave face, there's no right mind
There's no safe place, there's no right time
There's no brave face, there's no right mind
In no safe place, at no right time
Is where all the faith is we can find
