Bishop Takes Pawn

from Monument by Drowning Room

lyrics

"God works in such mysterious ways"
He takes a life and all is forgiven
If all His reasons have a rhyme
Then why has all we have gone to hell?

A man kills a man
A starving child extends her hand
Parents poised to pray
For babies born diseased

Murdered fathers lie
And beaten children cry
This rape and death are justified
Loved ones mourn the loss
Then kneel before the cross
and thank the Lord they're alive

Lovers forced to end
Through the church’s discipline
Fear disguised as faith
What afterlife awaits for me?

You know where I'm sent
If I don't repent

For my sins! I will burn in hell
and forfeit my rights to an afterlife
And never enter through the gates of Heaven
Sins of this world are of this world
Man is to blame for all this shame
If not then damn my soul forever
Salvation lies within
Man's burden is his own sin
Salvation lies within
