Absent God from 生まれたての雪 by Lycopene

So many words are thin
But I see yours carved in stone
To say I’ve seen the light
I’ve been all but mesmerized
Just a glimpse in the distance
But it’s the most I’ve ever seen… And the most I care to know

I pledge my hollow soul
You offer forgiveness
I change my very self
You offer love
Always looking over my shoulder
At those I’ve left behind
Give me a reason
To look forward… To move forward

Oh my God
I can’t trust anyone so I will trust in you
Oh my God
I can’t see any light, so I will follow you
Oh my God
Nothing but hedonist vermin surrounding me
Oh my God
Banish my suffering; grant me your company
Oh my God
I find your chapel upon the highest cliff
Oh my God
Overlooking the ocean as the sun gently rises
Oh my God
I climb my way to the holy steeple above
Oh my God
I bare my sins and prepare for your judgement
I abandon all those tied to their earthly sins
Who wallow in moments of shallow passion
Who swallow the poison and then swallow seed
Then breathe in the smoke as if their hearts they do not bleed
I turn deaf to my call to silence their voices
To set free the blood bound by parasitic flesh
Though I long to see the light fade from their eyes
Much stronger my heart longs to be right by your side
I stand before you, so lawfully bound
I’ve lived by commandments carved clear in my eyes
Read every word of the texts you provide
Lived by each sermon and walked every line
I’ve cut out my heart, torn the flesh from the bone
Abandon my shadow as I leap from chapel stone
I look to the sunrise as I fall through the sky
But as I catch a glimpse – God’s not looking at me
