To Capture a Deity

I found God in the heart of a mustang

And he begged don't show me

To the rest of the world

I'm not the man they think I am

I created neither the universe nor the earth

I'm sorry I just am

The spirit of a wasteland

Just please, don't let them find me

They'd **** me if they knew

 

And his eyes shone out his fear

Too wild, too innocent and vulnerable

And he quivered knowing he was

Alive only in his unbroken freedom

He pleaded once more

Please don't let them know I'm here

They would hunt me down

Rope me in until I could neither

Move nor breathe any longer

And they'd bury me ignorantly

Beneath their fear and false crown

 

I found God in the eyes of a mustang

Hiding in the desert canyons

All skin and hollow bones

Waiting for the world to end

And he screamed as I roped him in

And tried desperately to warn me

This will never be the same again

Keep on dreaming I whispered

We both know that God is already dead
