From humanity’s infancy We whispered a plea Then came a hopeful howl Crushed by the infinite Beyond the grasp of reason We cried out to the darkness Stumbling babies Longing for a father Mumbling morons The stars were there But the night was bare Father Mercy a comforting delusion Tenderness and purpose Warm blankets We wept for something We never even had For a father Fear and tears For the almighty being The king of all those Smitey things In the night many thought We heard him reply We justified the lie For a fake father figure In the scary dark sky

Where Art Thou Father
From humanity’s infancy We whispered a plea Then came a hopeful howl Crushed by the infinite Beyond the grasp of reason We cried out to the darkness Stumbling babies Longing for a father Mumbling morons The stars were there But the night was bare Father Mercy a comforting delusion Tenderness and purpose Warm blankets We wept for something We never even had For a father Fear and tears For the almighty being The king of all those Smitey things In the night many thought We heard him reply We justified the lie For a fake father figure In the scary dark sky
