Driving Out – Earth Groans – letras

We search for peace to flood the streetsFlicker of light to drive out the nightAbundance of love to dissolve disgustBut I’m still searching forWhat that looks like for usLove, it will not ceaseEven when breathNo longer passes through our teethLove, like the clouds over our headsShowering droughts and nurturingWhat’s left for deadYet the only light that I can seeThe burning eyes from this monsterMarching the streetsPicket signs for scales, discourse for teethWe are fighting fire with fireAnd leaving devastation in our wakeOvercoming darkness with twilightAnd the night tides immerse usIn their wavesWe are waging wrath against hatredAnd we battle each war after warOur nation drowning in it’s own tearsA body with a virus but we ignore the cureHow is it that we are too ignorant to knowThat this hate that we cling toIt will get us nowhereAnd still we riseAgainst our very own brotherLighting candles, we’re burning bridgesBreaking bread, we’re breaking skinTake this cup, we’re spilling bloodThis one body has separatedGluttony, debaucheryOutside these walls torsos emptyHypocrites, rash judgmentsAre we the salt, are we sulfurWhere is the compassionFrom pulpits that we preachWe cannot abide by these patterns anymoreSo retract your clawsLet’s put anguish to restBecause I swearWe’re called for something moreOh generation, no house can stand dividedIt’s time that we take on a new lead of loveWe are the letters not written by pen or inkBut transcribed by the spirit of the I AmWe search for peace to flood the streetsFlicker of light to drive out the nightAbundance of love to dissolve disgustAnd all of this has been writtenOn our hearts since day oneLive by the loveThat is written on your hearts
