Until you return to the ground
Since from it you were taken
For dust are you
And to dust you will return

Cursed are you
Bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh
You struck the stone
Out of anger so bereft
Oh man who has gazed upon the lord
Have you forgotten the flaming sword
That guards the path to eden
And from upon his golden throne
In a pillar of flame the way was shown
And in golden lightning struck the rock
To guide his faithless wandering flock
Oh chosen were we simple sheep
To follow

A strand of hair, a grain of salt
The sightless one tore down the walls
Chains and pillars could withhold His power
Once a man who heard the call
To see the people of the lord be lower
In blaze of glorious light his sight stole
And in return a promise from Saul to Paul
Become the herald of to the thrall
For with my words you shall teach them all
To follow

We fight against the prophecy
For shallow and so weak are we
Compared to the son who died in the name of love
While mothers and brothers cried out what have we become now
We praise and bow then crucify in name of hate
His blood spilled was the sacrifice that gives the brightest light to life beyond this mortal shroud
Not once, not twice, but thrice it crowed
Fulfilled the truth that was foretold
Broken twas spoken in the night
Silver coins now realized
The traitor chose to take his life
Failures are we one and all
We cannot seem to heed the call
On our own we always fall and fail
To follow

I pray that I hold strength enough
To take my filthy palms and lift them up
And stretch them unto the heavens above
And beg to walk in the footsteps of the one who lead, who showed us all the way to follow
How to follow
Now to follow
