CIRCLE OF NOTHING
Indiscriminate decision from eyes that once have seen
With slightly clouded vision and dismissed it as a dream
Turn from light to darkness to try to see with their own glow
The eyes that seek the truth they want and not the truth they know
Unrealistic expectation from men of both minds
Turns the cross of healing to the burning sword that blinds
Men will claim allegiance in their mouth but not in heart
And men who know the answer will still turn and depart
Self defeating human nature an inescapable disease
And the only thing that proves to each of us we’re free
A great divide of the things we hide
From those that feed our pride
Designates the the things we hate
And the flags we wear outside
Far from logic or calling divine
Chooses their sides and draws for them the line
What motivates their loving and loathing
Is an ever recycling circle of nothing
To place your trust in one who’s eyes merely touched the story
And not to see yourself is to give a traitor glory
Your ears will dance with magic of the words you want to hear
And your heart will crush with anguish when that magic disappears
Enduring of this hardship will surely seed your fate
You’ll seek reconciliation, let hatred dominate
Or shake your fists at God and gauge his faithfulness by man
Because your pride was burned from faith acquired second hand
A grandchild of the king seeking to claim the throne
Slay the unrighteous blood ‘till you see that blood’s your own
Far from logic of calling divine
Chooses your side and draws for you the line
What motivates your loving and loathing
Is an ever recycling circle of nothing
Plain and simple is the way the truth and light
All pervading forgiveness to replace any wrong with right
Blood shed for the cause of life free for you to take
Not to accept is the only possible mistake
Far from logic of calling divine
Can choose your side and draw for you the line
If you make your heart a temple of loathing
You’re forever bound in a circle of nothing
Taken to a place you sought but did not seek
Hearing Him repeat the words you thought but did not speak
And ask questions of the things you knew but did not think
The darkness will envelop leaving not a thing to see
And forever abolish this foolish feint of ambiguity.
