Circle of Nothing

These are the lyrics to a song I wrote a long time ago:

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.
