Slipknot Lyrics - Poor Old Lu

Of all the Poor Old Lu songs to show up on Napster in great number, this one did. I always found that strange until I heard that there was also a band called Slipknot. I can only imagine all those people who downloaded this song thinking it was the other band! Very amusing. 

As the brief text in the album cover eludes, this song is directed primarily towards the topic of 'indifference'. Our indifference, of course, keeps us from many great things in the Lord. Reaching out to others, more effective ministries, better friendships, better marriages, and so on. We must take our attitudes of indifference before the Lord so that He may change our hearts. He is willing and able. 

and fear 

how it often seems to be all you hear 

like a siren that just fills up your ears 

will you let it show you what you hold 

oh, so close 

and confused 

i think i keep the devil amused 

when i believe that his lies are true 

but beyond the haze i know 

which glory remains 

my need i seek 

in this hope i own 

Majesty, i see 

indifference is cold 

and hate 

it seems to run this world just great 

will they turn on time or roll in too late? 

there's no turning round 

on our knowledge now 

and pain 

does it fall upon your life like rain? 

it will not kill or make you insane 

just don't bow your neck 

to the cutter's blade 

my need i seek 

in this hope i hold 

Majesty, i see 

indifference is cold 

and fear 

is it ever, ever all you can hear? 

like a siren that just fills up your ears 

would you let it go 

and throw your arms to Christ, so close 

my need i seek 

in this hope i own 

Majesty, i see 

indifference is cold
