A Hail Of Stones

lyrics

Some people need to choose which story they'll believe
Before their doomsaying begins to sound naive
And when their children start to doubt there even is a god
An incremental step that benefits mankind

The Book of Matthew says to love thy neighbour well
But if he lays with men he's going straight to hell
Of course, his life on earth will end under a hail of stones
A vengeful judgement from an everloving god

Now may we note, with shock, the leaders of the land
Hearing voices, taking cash in every hand
And if we don't agree with a spectre needing souls to save
An incremental step for us all

So it's time for some decisions
Are these stories worth the keeping?
Do we bow to words of ancients?
Do we swallow pseudo morals?

With fire and ice, they strike each other down
Drunk on power, they strike their brother down
And even when the words ring hollow
They send their hail of stones
The longest song of sorrow the words has ever know
