Death's Great Black Wing Scrapes The Air Lyrics - How We Both Wondrously Perish - Being As An Ocean

We shout up at the sky 

Until our mouths are bloody and dry 

Screaming out at a god that seems to be blind 

To the suffering of us here below; those pushed aside 

Look around and witness the weight of this darkness 

I can assure you that ignorance is not bliss 

And simply because we've adorned our eyes with such arrogance 

Does not mean the unspeakable will cease 

Wicked men hoarding necessities 

While their fellow man die of sickness and disease

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Children are still starving 

Doubled over in pain from the grumbling 

Dying loved ones whither and fade 

The person we knew stripped away 

(All we love will fade 

All we love is stripped away) 

Men killing their dearest in a fit of rage 

Instead of putting the past behind, turning a new page 

Mothers drown their babies in their sleep 

As a reprieve 'cause they don't know the next time that they'll eat 

Photos 

We still defile and abuse the innocent 

Like items to be sold or owned 

Slavery and prostitution is no place for a nine year old 

So rage, cry out at the angry sky 

Let the emotion fall from your eyes 

I tell you the truth 

YHWH rages with you 

He hears your frantic pleas 

Believe me when I say, "He is not some distant thing!" 

If you're quiet for a while, you might just hear Him breathe 

He's stood at the bedside of the lowly 

Shoulders heaving, His head in His hands 

Grieving with a Father's heart, come to retrieve another wayward lamb 

It's up to us to hold each other's dignity 

Recognize we've chosen the wrong enemy 

Hate, ignorance, and inhumanity are what we should be battling 

Now's the time for knowledge 

Now's the time for Truth 

Humanity has already suffered so much abuse 

We must take responsibility, do away with apathy 

Unlearn society's teachings 

To be blind and selfish 

Because what you must learn 

Is that the problem is us
