The God That Failed






Pride you took 

pride you feel 

pride that you felt when you'd kneel 



not the word 

not the love 

not what you thought from above 



it feeds 

it grows 

it clouds all that you will know 

deceit 

deceive 

decide just what you believe 



I see faith in your eyes 

never your hear the discouraging lies 

I hear faith in your cries 

broken is the promise, betrayal 

the healing hand held back by the deepened nail 



follow the god that failed 



find your peace 

find your say 

find the smooth road in your way 



trust you gave 

a child to save 

left you cold and him in grave 



it feeds 

it grows 

it clouds all that you will know 

deceit 

deceive 

decide just what you believe 



I see faith in your eyes 

never you hear the discouraging lies 

I hear faith in your cries 

broken is the promise, betrayal 

the healing hand held back by the deepened nail 



follow the god that failed 



I see faith in your eyes 

broken is the promise, betrayal 

the healing hand held back by the deepened nail 



follow the god that failed 



pride you took 

pride you feel 

pride that you felt when you'd kneel 



trust you gave 

a child to save 

left you cold and him in grave 



I see faith in your eyes 

never you hear the discouraging lies 

I hear faith in your cries 

broken is the promise, betrayal 

the healing hand held back by deepened nail 



follow the god that failed
