Funeral / Descent Heavenward

about

Two songs—a new song culled from my work with I May Have Seen the Devil, and a Freeze classic.

lyrics

When the light behind the eyes fades away
And we lay the body down x2

When the light slips
When the light slips away

I want to know how you can ask me to pretend
That the love of Christ is all I need to meet my bitter end
That the only real reason to behave
Is not simply to avoid eternal flame

Tried to touch my soul, but they couldn't rip it from my chest

Thought it was the right thing to do
Thought it was the only thing to do for my soul

At night they'd gather us together
And testify to strength received through correct thought and prayer
For seven days in seven summers of my impressionable youth
I saw the brutality of the Christian truth

Tried to touch my soul, but they couldn't rip it from my chest

Thought it was the right thing to do
Thought it was the only thing to do for my soul

The chill in the air is the chill in my bones
Seven and seven, alone
Testimony
Boring the shit out of me

One man tells a lie
Spreads across the land
The worst kind of disease
To infect the minds of man
The brainwashing ensued
When the lie became too huge

When he's preaching that it's all for the love of Christ, is he right?
Telling the whole plight of the believer in heaven, and ... ?
When she's praying that it's all for the love of Christ,
To come down from on high, on a white horse from the sky

Took my childhood years away from me
In terror
And obedience
All to the bastard love of Christ

No one deserves to burn forever
