Cross Contamination
Flesh mingles with spirit and so begins the dilution
The fatal compromise
Septic hypocrisy
Muscles clench, forcing vomit over the congregation's eager ears
Catering to the carrion
Rot permeates the living
Deception devours selflessness
And the streets run red with the blood of the truth
Walking hand in hand with the great masquerade
Wading knee deep in the blood of the truth
Once could see but now are blind
Wading knee deep in the blood of the truth
The people's need for God is intercepted by a watery imitation, serving our carnal nature, justifying self gratification
Though the night is dark
New light is yet to come
Though you bend and break
His strength is in your weakness
And through the bloodiest trials
New character is forged
Though the war is won
The battle rages on
His kingdom will be preached and so will His testimony
