Chasing Ravens VI. Blade Draws a Grin

from New World Hymnal by rhyb

/

lyrics

Ascending of steps, a view of the crowd.
A glow in his eyes, then clothed in a shroud.

Yelling of curses, bellowing detest,
Death looming, but knows he is blessed.

Polishing of blade, twinkles in its eye
Tool of trial raised to the sky.

Final words, seek the spirit within!
From neck to neck, the blade draws a grin.

We look for truth through scientific progress
To find a solace long obscured by sin
We seek to build the walls of revelation
Depraved we're screaming from within

Our way of life is built on self elation
We construct monuments on breaking ground
But when we're scattered from our tower of Babel
What will be our final sound?

Our bodies braced by artificial comforts
The walls protect us from the ebb & flow
Can we withstand the agony of release
To be returned to nature's glow?

It takes a martyr to inspire the question
Is there a truth behind the undertow?
And when you find the world where the raven's fly from
Will you hide away or lay down your life?
