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” 

 

 Twisted torment, make-believe

 There’s a truth and we all submit 

 “Believe my eyes,” my brain replies 

 To all that they interpret 

 

 [Chorus]

 

 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… 

 [Chorus]

 

 They call it God’s love 

 My pain is God’s love
