A cloud of despair A puff of hope Every chance of redemption Is but a screen of smoke Behind the façade Lurk arcane deals and shameless lies Leave only the what ifs And the wonder whys Deception, despair   Who really cares Propagating the notion That life should be fair We've built a world Where flesh is king We must fill the king's coffers With new, shiny things We give money our worship And fame our praise We denigrate morality And nurture the depraved With ignorant audacity We declare ourselves wise Birthing debauchery and malevolance As innocent blood cries In the name of self-actualization We reject a Holy God Encouraging moral departure With a wink and a nod

A Wink and a Nod
A cloud of despair A puff of hope Every chance of redemption Is but a screen of smoke Behind the façade Lurk arcane deals and shameless lies Leave only the what ifs And the wonder whys Deception, despair   Who really cares Propagating the notion That life should be fair We've built a world Where flesh is king We must fill the king's coffers With new, shiny things We give money our worship And fame our praise We denigrate morality And nurture the depraved With ignorant audacity We declare ourselves wise Birthing debauchery and malevolance As innocent blood cries In the name of self-actualization We reject a Holy God Encouraging moral departure With a wink and a nod
