God's Love 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

With twisted torment make believe

There's a truth that 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 our minds

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 no 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

They call it God's love

My pain is God's love
