Catharsis - I Corinthians 1:18-29 lyrics

Through the confusion you see an illusion: In this world, s** and leprosy; God never said a word to me- Your Eternal Soul, reduced to flesh in disease Run the race alone between the soil and the sky An echoing silence to answer your cries; I have one question to ask Him, I know I've only got so much time… Went out in the desert, dragged myself through Hell, Bent every muscle, every nerve to the cause Only to come face to face with: Everyone gets what they deserve, every gets their just deserts Everyone gets what they want Everyone's going to die God wants some suffering, God hates your lies God grinds under heel when you try to survive "So relieved to discover God loves you?" Nailed to the cross of your hate for this life- That's your faith?! Do you feel deserted? You dragged yourself through Hell, Believed in every word, but in d**h Only come face to face with Yourself. The Kingdom of Heaven is Flesh, To the ends of the earth and no more; Every shudder, every shivering night Until the maggots come to carry you home When your heroes are slaughtered Your lovers are raped, world of sh**: No one gets out alive, no escape It's not hard to believe, is it… That in d**h you will be Saved? Went out in the desert Dragged myself through Hell I have a growing suspicion That there's no secret to tell Reap what you sow in blood red s** d**hblood red and needle tracks As your illusions kick the last nail in You plead for mercy Plead to just stop wanting (But I) Once waited to return to claw Now transfigured in the fire I pray: If nothing else is left for me, to exalt in pain I choose to bleed To bleed Born again, out in the desert Walking in God's steps; whispered the secret to me- Silence as sure as d**h I went out in the desert, dragged myself through Hell Knocking down Heaven's door I only come face to face with Myself
