from tree (Fate’s collusion?), our edifice grown

And as I looked, I...

The colorful display of power of the people —
waving of the red, white and blue; freedom
rings, slowly, building to a crescendo
to include all the melting pot called...

No one's going to believe me 

But I know why God is silent 
Why He doesn’t answer 
Or hear our prayers

We have sunken to an all time low,
And the enemy has dealt us a deadly blow.
