3. Like Gods Departed (Plague: Acedia) (6:48)
Lead: ‘God-shaped hole’ (Lee James Appleton)
Prince of hell, lord of the gap,
Cast your doubts, sow seeds of debate
Invite desire, dubiety
Her path be strewn with thorns ripped from the vine
Take her hand, ba’al peor
Lead her from light into temptation
Take her hope, take her faith
Apathy, deep into her soul
With conscience pricked invade her mind
With horrors of her world no just god would design
When she prays block out “the word”
No comfort ear, just bleed reality
With prayer unanswered, no pain divine
Implant the cancer
Indifference of mind
Let her sink, let her fall
To ask the question…
Has he forsaken us all
My child be pulled back to the light
My child let dream be vessel
Lose not all faith in me for I shall comfort thee
I am in thee and in thee my light, your scars shall be stigmata
Deny enticement, repel seduction
This daemon clouds thy mind with blasphemy
I am in thee and in thee my light, your scars shall be stigmata
Like gods departed, his light extinguished
Belief once strong now shattered
Like gods departed, his truth shall leave me
Like embers burned, as flames be still
And devil make work for idle hands as mischief dances
And faith abandoned sears the soul
Like one who loved and lost
Like gods departed
His light extinguished
Belief once strong now shattered
Like gods departed
Like embers burned, as flames be still
Prince of hell, lord of the gap,
Cast your doubts, sow seeds of debate
Invite desire, dubiety
Her path be strewn with thorns ripped from the vine
Take her hand, ba’al peor
Lead her from light into temptation
Take her hope, take her faith
Apathy, deep into her soul
With conscience pricked invade her mind
With horrors of her world no just god would design
When she prays block out “the word”
No comfort ear, just bleed reality
With prayer unanswered, no pain divine
Implant the cancer
Indifference of mind
Let her sink, let her fall
To ask the question…
Has he forsaken us all
My child be pulled back to the light
My child let dream be vessel
Lose not all faith in me for I shall comfort thee
I am in thee and in thee my light, your scars shall be stigmata
Deny enticement, repel seduction
This daemon clouds thy mind with blasphemy
I am in thee and in thee my light, your scars shall be stigmata
Like gods departed, his light extinguished
Belief once strong now shattered
Like gods departed, his truth shall leave me
Like embers burned, as flames be still
And devil make work for idle hands as mischief dances
And faith abandoned sears the soul
Like one who loved and lost
Like gods departed
His light extinguished
Belief once strong now shattered
Like gods departed
Like embers burned, as flames be still
