Organ Processional/Revelation

Sitting in silence in the crowd I once felt such pride in this stained glass, hallowed space Virtuous, determined and faithful How could I fall so far from grace The lake of fire is the second death Suddenly crawling out my skin Fearing the wrath of some faceless spirit above Abandoned, afraid, forsaken I just have to ask you where's the love The lake of fire is the second death I sang hallelujah I sang hosanna in the highest I sang hallelujah And then one day I woke up Remembering life as it once was The fear and the hurt And the darkness of my sins I swore never again Would I let myself feel the abuse Of a system that preaches conditional love And encourages hatred of those who don't conform To the contradictory rules and regulations Of an invisible specter in the sky With an emotional disorder and power complex Governed by men who think themselves above The laws they are sworn to enforce And followed by a large group of humans In fear of suffering an eternity of pain and torment Which is a pretty sick means of control When you get down to it I sang hallelujah I sang hosanna in the highest I sang hallelujah And then one day I walked out And never went back
