God's Love

Striking at mental apparitions like a drunk on a vacant street
Silently beset by the hands of time, indelicate in its fury
An aberrant "crack" as skeletons yield to unrelenting gravity
While viruses prowl for helpless victims who succumb rapidly

Tell me! Tell me where is the love
In a careless creation?
When there’s no above
There’s no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure

And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it God’s love

Twisted torment make believe, there’s a truth and we all submit
Believe my eyes my brain replies to all that they interpret

So tell me! Tell me where is the love
In a careless creation?
When there’s no above
There’s no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure

And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it God’s love

I know there’s no reason for alarm
But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm?
We can change our minds, there’s a better prize

But first you’ve got to
Tell me! Tell me where is the love
In a careless creation?
When there’s no above
There’s no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure

And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it God’s love
They call it God’s love
My pain is God’s love
