Songs of Blood - Two Plus Two

I mean it’s obvious that God exists

It’s like two plus two is four

But is She kind or is She cruel?

That interests me more

I’ve seen your God from the other side

From the toil and grief and hunger

I’ve worked and worked, fought suicide

All alone and without power 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnam864K1Z

———

I’d rather die than work for you

Than leave my family and work for you

There’s something deeper, mercy true

That the jealous God, She hides from view

———

I mean it’s obvious that Fate exists

We are punished we are blessed

But is it just or is it unjust?

Please can we have some rest?

I’ve seen your rule from the other side

You were brighter I was colder

I lack the strength for suicide

I can’t leave my people poorer

———

I’d rather die than work for you

Than leave my family and work for you

There’s something deeper, mercy true

That the jealous God, She hides from view

———

I don’t forgive

I won’t forgive you for this

But you don’t know

You will not ever know this

So if you think

That you can give me your blame

Without your help

I can still set me aflame

———

I’d rather die than work for you

Than leave my family and work for you

There’s something deeper, mercy true

That the jealous God, She hides from view
