lyrics
The Golden Rule
You have.
I don’t.
You’ll bleed.
I won’t.
Thirst screams as the time keeps on ticking
The weak in full bloom best start picking.
Headed straight to the grave empty handed
Unless I do as he does not as he commanded
There is no mystery
Who makes the rules, breaks them
He gave me the will and means
Only consequence restrains me
A knife in the back.
A jab to the throat.
I’ll take what I want
Don’t think I won’t.
While your standing in line for some broken bread
I’ll live by the rule as he taught me instead
Do unto others
As father has done unto you
Do unto others
As much as he gave you the means
to do.
We have.
They don’t.
They’ll break.
We won’t.
All this craving and wanting, who planted these seeds?
Malnourished disciples, he made us have needs.
Our creed is that cry that lies at our core
Why believe when our might proves our right to more
It’s clear to all who see
Who makes the rules, breaks them
He gave me the will and means
A conscience can’t restrain me
Bombs from the sky
Boots on their throat
We do what we want
We take what they won’t
Banished and sentenced to limited time
This wretched creation I’m told is a crime
Do unto others
All that you can do
Do unto others
As father has done unto you
The sands are falling.
The hands once crawling
Are running away.
Unraveling me.
What hand divine
Would give a gift so precious?
Grant some time,
Then take it all away.
The gall to grant forgiveness
He made me in his image
Who should beg forgiveness?
He made me in his image.
If he can take his own son.
Why can’t I take a few crumbs?
If he abandons his sons
Why can’t I take a few crumbs?
Do unto others
Do unto others
Do unto others
Do unto others
Just as he has done unto you.
