Lyrics

Striking at mental apparitions like a drunk on a vacant street
Silently beset by the hands of time indelicate in its fury
An aberrant "crack" as skeletons yield to unrelenting gravity
While viruses prowl for helpless victims who succumb rapidly
Tell me! Tell me where is the love in a careless creation?
When there's no above there's no justice just a cause and a cure and a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I'm frightened of is that they call it God's love
Twisted torment, make-believe
There's a truth and we all submit
Believe my eyes my brain complies to all that they interpret
So Tell me! Tell me where is the love in a careless creation?
When there's no above there's no justice just a cause and a cure and a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I'm frightened of is that they call it God's love
I know there's no reason for alarm
But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm?
We can change your mind - there’s a better prize
But first you've got to Tell me! Tell me where is the love in a careless creation?
When there's no above there's no justice just a cause and a cure and a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I'm frightened of is that they call it God's love
My pain is God's love
