The Present Moment (Clean Version)

Jonah Eli - Powerlines

Dogma satirises the 'one' true hero who can save us/commune with God/bring us to ultimate victory above all. 

The song highlights the destructive nature of institutions that demand blind faith or use religion as a basis for 'righteous' destruction.


Lyrics

Verse 1

If He'll lift me up

Where am I being lifted to?

If there's anything but this

What's behind the curtain, who-

Gets to say they know beyond?

When we have only what's at hand

Gets to say it's the work of God

Belief built on holy sand

(Holy sand)

K.W - I believe as it is written in the bible

G. B - We will defend our freedom

K.W - That it is my duty to increase this heritage

G. B - We will bring freedom to others

K.W - Whoever tries to interfere with my task

G. B - And we will prevail, may God bless our country and all who defend her
K.W - I shall crush


Chorus

Aaa-aah (who says?)

KJU - We want to break the military and territorial chains that confine us

he's the only one

Aaa-aah (who says?)

he's the only one

JS - Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

Verse 2

Faith can patch the soul

And it can let the dogma spread

Faith can heal the wound

And lay many a deathbed

Chorus

Bridge

Hold my hope in my hands

Appearances in consciousness

Everything transitory

No proof of more or less

Where's my attention gone to?

Where's my understanding?

What's the use in asking?

All these ugly questions Mandy?
