RELEASING REMUS
There you sat, upon your throne
The location is what reached my heart
Reigning in the house of worship
Where wandering souls learn their part
My question was that of coercion
If I could just free you through the law
TRUTH could see the spark
And recover light from that awful fall
But time has brought us here
And the law has revealed what can't be ignored
You mean to rule the will
At the intersection where hope gets bored
Yes, yes...you are skilled in operation
Knowledge endless and plans always unrolling
Your mere presence in this world
Stinks of faux leather acquired from never knowing
No LOVE can save the one in a place
Elected and erected by blind obligation
The fear of dying to self to rise
Has lifted the grace of movement from this nation
TRUTH has interceded in the Spirit of WORD
But today, my heart has turned in silence
I release you REMUS
To the worship you demand through violence
...knowing, LOVE WINS!!!
