Fear the Gospel

Maybe you had something else in mind
Hollow life of false experience
Don't make waves, don't be a bother
Love your God and fear the gospel
This is how you live with permanence

Hold it in
There's no problem here but the one you made yourself
Don't waste my time with your pointless search and rescue
Hold it in
There's no right time for you to get weird and unpleasant
Put your shoulders back, 'cause your birthday's over

Work for something good outside yourself
You alone cannot create the truth
You will help us all be greater
Everything is done in order
In the crowd you'll find the absolute

Hold it in
Just bite your tongue
It happens every day
No one needs a rock that changes shape
Hold it in
You know it's wrong
But you did it anyway
You're in the spotlight now
That's your last excuse

You have to be the obedient horn
Who will trumpet out to lead the other brothers on
I can tell you that you're special if you never resist
There's no purpose for a person who won't stick to the script
The devil is insidious
The sinner is delirious
When everybody wants a piece
You have to say you're serious
And lose the part that's curious
Accepting the epiphany
I need to crawl inside your heart
And make you my own
And if you cannot hear the truth
Then I cannot deliver you home

And we wait
To witness holy rapture
To save us from this nightmare
'Cause something's just not right here
And the change
Is never for the better
We will not be forsaken
His silence ends today
God help me
I'm saved
