lyrics

Chapter 9: The Sermon

Purge your pride, in the belly of
Desire, in the valley of
Required opportunity --
Delight in obedience.

The flame burns true as a compass, there's
No skew on perspectives you
Want to simply justify --
And so do you slumber.

But, oh!
The hand of God is up above!
And, oh!
You cannot run from boundless love!

Carried down with a tempest of
Renown, to the stillness of
Each round individual sphere --
Peace now is a punishment.

So beg your Lord for the trying reward
Bestowed for the congress of man,
Each lost in his wickedness --
And so, with your pilot!

And, oh!
The hand of God is up above!
And, oh!
You cannot run from boundless love!
