Where Are You

Someday the angels will fall to their knees Singing for anyone who will listen But today the martyrs are too busy With so many other voices to hear them Where are you?! Where are you now?! Forty years multiplied by the pain Of a history you’ve let befall us We’re still wandering through the desert Still waiting for you to save us Where are you?! Where are you now?! Glorify the tales of the righteous son Pretending the hero came to our rescue More than irony that the very thing he once molded Became the instrument of his demise His lesson was more than just forgiveness Where is he?! Where is he now?! Maybe this is hell Maybe this is the hell We’ve made his heaven to be Your religions are a cancer And it’s eating away at your eyes Burn a goat and pray to the east It just doesn’t matter IT DOESN’T MATTER! They got it wrong! We’ve got it wrong! And where are you now?!
