Grace The Louder Lyrics
the gun
the knife
the horror
the sin
they all lie deep
lie deep within
where no man seeks god
and their throats are opened graves
where the great lie is exposed:
that we’re harmlessly right
to follow innate ways
not just madmen
but you and I
were
born into a brood of vipers
sold as slaves to sin,
the image of god
darkened
in our mind’s eye:
the knife
the horror
the sin
they all lie deep
lie deep within
where no man seeks god
and their throats are opened graves
where the great lie is exposed:
that we’re harmlessly right
to follow innate ways
not just madmen
but you and I
were
born into a brood of vipers
sold as slaves to sin,
the image of god
darkened
in our mind’s eye:
swift indeed are
humanity’s feet
to shed blood.
though your finger’s
never pulled a trigger,
though you’ve never
concealed a blade
you know inside
there’s a demon
and you know
he’ll never fade
to white;
in fact
you know he’ll
always fail
to write
“forgive these my sins.”
humanity’s feet
to shed blood.
though your finger’s
never pulled a trigger,
though you’ve never
concealed a blade
you know inside
there’s a demon
and you know
he’ll never fade
to white;
in fact
you know he’ll
always fail
to write
“forgive these my sins.”
for him indeed
there is no redemption
to the captor
there is no concession
of grace
extended,
only a sentence
of death,
meted out by a cross
and an open grave,
to the only one
in whom there
is no goodness:
satan,
thou art vanquished;
death,
thy sting removed,
and though your frightening
laugh still echoes
in these halls,
its sound
is nothing
beside the glory
on offer
to those who believe:
groans may be
loud but
grace is louder.
there is no redemption
to the captor
there is no concession
of grace
extended,
only a sentence
of death,
meted out by a cross
and an open grave,
to the only one
in whom there
is no goodness:
satan,
thou art vanquished;
death,
thy sting removed,
and though your frightening
laugh still echoes
in these halls,
is nothing
beside the glory
on offer
to those who believe:
groans may be
loud but
grace is louder.
