The Resistance |
I was born into a system constructed for failure |
It’s a sinking ship manned by drunken sailors |
An escape artist behind the bars of a jailor |
An asthmatic attack when we forgot the inhaler |
If the shoe doesn’t fit what good is a tailor |
In the midst of a crisis please cancel the gala |
Without a symphony there’s no need for a prelude |
To foreshadow what’s to come. |
See the secret committees, commence with their meetings |
To make red tape in response to simple questions |
Questions threaten the perception of the beneficial systems |
A pyramid scheme with it’s cogs and it’s pistons |
Mechanization of men, making more and more |
Live in a miserable exhistance |
How can so few, claim so many victims |
And this begs the question |
My rest is a weapon against the oppression |
Of mans obsession to control things |
Look at the long line of make believe kings |
The lord of the flies want’s you to kiss his ring |
Follow new rules with invisible strings |
And become a puppet in the diabolical scheme |
How do good men become part of the regime |
They don’t believe in resistance. |
Hold fast like an anchor in the storm |
We will not be moved |
Lesson number one, overcome |
Every fear of regret and confusion |
It’s all illusion, delusion |
Sent to disconnect the holy fusion |
Of spirit and the flesh |
Every mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fire |
But only when the fear of death, gets consumed |
On the funeral pier |
So let the flames rise higher |
Let every man be considered a liar |
If he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God |
Itching ears will compulsively nod in approval |
When unbelief is taught in all our temples and schools |
But God can restrain the madness of a fool |
He can bring His truth through the mouth of a mule |
You can move an mountain without any tools |
It just takes the faith of a little seed |
to make a way through what might seem to be Impossibility, |
And the ability will match the occasion |
The outcome will defy explanation |
The liberation will not be televised |
When it arrives like lightning in the skies |
Hold fast like an anchor in the storm |
For your love, we will rise and overcome |
Through the fire |
Hold fast my people and sing |
Through peace and through suffering |
All for the joy that it brings, to be free |
It’s gonna cost us everything |
To follow one Lord and King |
True love endures everything |
To be free |
Hold fast, like an anchor in the storm |
We will not be moved |
