No Resurrection from GDLS by Goliath LXIX

[Intro]
("Close the book… blow the candle out…")
("Ain’t no second coming, ain’t no hands reaching down.")
("Faith is a tombstone…)
(and we standin’ in the graveyard.")

[Verse 1]
I prayed once, prayed twice, prayed ‘til my knees went black,
Got no sign, got no light, only echoes talkin’ back.
Seen ‘em beg, seen ‘em cry, hands high but pockets low,
Preacher said "faith moves mountains"—but it ain’t move my soul.
Told me grace was given free, but I never seen receipts,
Yet the pastor’s watch got diamonds, and his car got heated seats.
If the Lord gon’ save his children, tell me where the f*ck he been?
Cuz my brother died on that pavement while the choir sang "Amen."
They paint God like a father, but this house got no roof,
Told me "walk by faith," but my feet stuck in the truth.
Ain’t no resurrection, ain’t no grace,
Just a tombstone where your faith got erased.

[Chorus]
Ain’t no light, ain’t no crown,
Ain’t no savior comin’ down.
Crosses high, faith is low,
Let it die, let it go.
Ain’t no light, ain’t no crown,
Ain’t no savior comin’ down.
Crosses high, faith is low,
Let it die, let it go.

[Verse 2 – 24 Bars, Sarcastic & Brutal]
Say a prayer, burn a candle, tell me what that’s ‘posed to fix?
I seen kids go to sleep with no food in they fridge.
I seen mothers sell they bodies just to pay for some heat,
But the bishop wearin’ Prada while they starve in the street.

They say "God is love," but his silence too loud,
They say "He see all," but he blind to the crowd.
If the gates stay golden, and the sinners stay broke,
Then Heaven ain’t a kingdom, it’s a members-only cloak.

Tell ‘em keep they hallelujahs, keep they psalms and all they grace,
Cuz I been to Hell already—just look at this f*ckin’ place.
Ain’t no resurrection, ain’t no throne,
Just a name in the dust and a God turned to stone.

[Chorus]
Ain’t no light, ain’t no crown,
Ain’t no savior comin’ down.
Crosses high, faith is low,
Let it die, let it go." 🎶
Ain’t no light, ain’t no crown,
Ain’t no savior comin’ down.
Crosses high, faith is low,
Let it die, let it go." 🎶

[Verse 3]
I don’t fear no Hell, don’t fear no ghost,
Cuz the worst thing made was a prayer gone cold.
They say "faith brings peace," but the wars don’t stop,
And the ones who hold the scriptures be the ones who pop shots.
Tell me, who gave the orders? Who blessed the steel?
Who preached about love but still let kids get killed?
If Heaven got gates and the angels don’t break,
Then where was God when them levees gave way?
I ain’t sayin’ that He dead, I’m just sayin’ He ain’t here,
Cuz the world keep turnin’ but the prayers disappear.
Ain’t no resurrection, ain’t no King,
Just a void where the hymns used to ring.

[Outro]
"The church doors closed… (the prayers dried out…")
"Ain’t no second coming, (ain't no voice in the clouds.")
"Faith is a candle… (and we just watched it burn out.")
