Prey Like Us

Pray like cowards
Long forgotten to live
Existing behind ghosts
Cowards of comfort
Unholy & broken
Gaunt inside

I see the sacred
Hollow gods depleted
Separated from earthly sorrow
Empty of breath dying on heaven's shores

Prey as Christians
Comfort cowards hiding
Behind bank draft miracles
Loans empowering pacifism
Waiting until trauma finds them

I see the sacred
Hollow God depleted
Separated from earthly sorrow
Too long we called You to renew
A manifest debt destiny feeling
On Sunday mass mourning
While the earth plundered

Praying to our
Sacred comfort drug
Christ Shepherd of shadow
All children became slaves
Profit over acceptance
Cowards of heaven

I saw the sacred
Painting my eyes
White as if blinded
Darkness of hell apart
Separated by inability
To wake... them
