Awaiting Resurrection

Is there an evil in this world?

Yes, there's an evil in this world

Is there an evil in this world?

Yes, there's an evil in this world

And it creeps up from behind you

When you are least suspectin'

Is there a dog in this race?

Yes, there's a dog in this race

I'm lookin' at his tail

But I'm thinkin' about his face

So I keep on pushin' forward

Acquirin' and collectin'

Is there an absolute beginnin',

Or something beyond the end?

Will I come back as that dog?

Will I have to live through this again?

The truth seeps out between us

In the spaces that we're neglecting

When push comes to shove

And our devils come at us running

Will we be caught in the flood,

Or something far less stunning?

Will that serum keep us honest,

From the answers we're deflecting?

There's a voice within the void

And I swear it sounds familiar

Within the truths that we've destroyed

Whisperin', "Come here"

And the answer is within you

But it keeps on disconnecting

There's an evil in this world

I've seen it in the news

Of babies dead in schools

Or scattered in the pews

For reasons without answers

In the dark, beyond protection

I'm moving through the void

Starin' down the fright show

Standin' in the darkness

Just waiting for the light show

I try with all my might

To seek the truth you've been rejecting

Seeking some salvation

To the limits of my talents

I hold my family close

Just tryin' to find the balance

Between the bad shit goin' down

And the beauty this life can keep injecting

There's a whiplash in the news

And the evil man's tirades

A joker's motorcade

And military parades

Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made

To win elections

Guns and ammunition, babies in a cage

They say nothing can be done

But they tell us how they prayed

In the end, we're just standin' watchin' greatness fade

Into darkness, awaiting resurrection
