Is solace a hopeless crusade The grandeur of a raping plague A portrait that is best forgotten Bed of fire for the dying orphans Is there a bridge for the endless mote? A river for the arid throat? A sun for the winter flower? A knight in the weeping hour? (Romans 7:24) The poison sails on ships with pain my veins have never known My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote (Numbers 21:6-9, John 3:14-15) A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace (Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Galatians 3:13, Romans 5:12-18) Romance me (Romans 5:8), Ransom me (1 Peter 1:18-20) A love lifted, in paradise remember me (Luke 23:40-43) Romance me, Ransom me The idol that birthed betrayal (Genesis 3:1-19) Where eulogies have littered the trail A song that is sung with a forked tongue Blackballed by the angels And we're dropping like flies An assault to the eyes Spraying death in every direction This infection's a torrential tide (Romans 5:12) Amazing, sweet mercy, romance me, ransom me (Titus 3:4-5)
