Scores of years ago
The birth of a new lie
Lovely old glory
Made it through the night

Speaking in tongues
About this chosen continent
Then singing on Sundays
To bless the whole firmament

The groom in red, white, and blue
The bride kneeled at the cross
The knot comes undone
As it’s stretched across

The amber waves of grain
Drift softly in the wind
The herd of buffalo
Begins to thin again

This is a beautiful divorce
Time to find 
A more perfect union

This is a beautiful divorce
No more country
Of Christ’s Kingdom

This is a beautiful divorce

No more flags
Where my Bible should be
No more pledging allegiance
To a land instead of the King

A Beautiful Divorce

And I wonder what you are going to do 
with all your millions
And I wonder what you are going to do

A little child dreaming
The sky is blue
Growing older now
Skyscrapers block his view
Hungering for power
And starving on the truth
Now the child only fits
Inside a suit

Tears fall
Kingdoms crumble
Beggars crawl
The righteous stumble
Power
Tower
Hold the stocks up
They cannot fall
Dead flower
Fields scoured
Hold the stocks up
Above it all

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you needed?
A safe full of money
A life now depleted
Your brain full of memories
Of counting your dollars
Your brain full of memories
Of killing God’s colors
No memories of lost love
Or friends by a fire
No memories of feeding
Artistic desire
No feet in a river
No prayers to deliver
An echoing mansion
And a heart with a sliver

And I wonder what you are going to do
With all your millions
And I wonder what you are going to do
With all your billions
And I wonder what you are going to do
With all your trillions
And I wonder what you are going to do
With all your zillions

And I wonder
O, I wonder
Still I wonder
I’ll always wonder

Millions, Billions, Trillions, Zillions

Words

Dark Waters

As the deer panteth for water
The echoing earth fades away
If the Lord made all the creatures
Should we not keep them all safe?
As my soul cries restoration
I hear of icebergs gone to sea
And I question man’s exploration
As I seek the old decree

Each little flower that blossoms
Each little bird that sings
Fostering all of Your oceans
Repairing broken wings

I wake up in the early morning
As the sun melts the moon
Fear consumes me like a serpent
My mind full of discordant tunes
Grief fills up my eyelids
As Your people don’t believe
Demonizing thought and reason
As these trees conceive dead leaves

He cares for each and every feather
He guides the buzzing bees
He tempers the weather
And smiles when the crickets sing

As the Deer Panteth for the Water

Go to war
Just don’t tax me anymore
Change the score
Just don’t tax me anymore

Don’t tax me anymore

Beat them with a smile
Just don’t tax me anymore
Pray it’ll change after awhile
Just don’t tax me anymore

Starve the poor
Just don’t tax me anymore
Poison all the shores
Just don’t tax me anymore

Tax Me

We stole 
Everything we own
And we want to steal 
Everything we don’t
I’ve locked up the keep 
And now I’m drunk on sleep
This pyramid scheme 
We call the American dream

Sins of the fathers
Hungry for slaughter
Are you dreaming well?
Is it a comfortable cell?

Chains on feet 
Scrounging to eat
Fighting for air 
While no one knows you’re there
But I need a house
With five bedrooms at least
Money’s my spouse 
Your problems are my feast
 
Maybe I could learn
And maybe we could yearn
For something more
Than a lovely urn
And maybe we could see
More possibilities
Where people actually live free
And maybe I could see that 
Jesus wasn’t white like me

Stolen

Floorboards creak when I try to sleep
When my room is dark I can see his teeth
When the traffic dies I swear that I
Can hear it breathe

Cause there's a ghost living in my house
He is angry and he is proud
Until now I thought it was something
That I don't believe in

300 years and he's still here
Changing how he appears
Hungry to feast on these fears
And all this bad cheer

Hiding in the wall
Infected and tall
Tripping me so that I fall
Yelling at me that I need to read Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul

Cause there's a ghost living in my house
He is angry and he is proud
Until now I thought it was something
That I don't believe in

Haven't lost my dreams even though I don't sleep
I'm the luckiest of sheep
At the end of the day 
It's just another creep

It's just another creep

Ghost in My House

There it is again
That funny feeling

Hey, what can you say?
We were overdue
But it'll be over soon

That Funny Feeling

Paradigm

Welcome to your life
There’s no turning back
Even while you sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It’s my own desire
And it’s my own remorse
Help me to decide
You gotta help me make the

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There’s a room where the light won’t find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I’ll be right behind you

I’m so glad we almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can’t stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you’ll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

One for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever last forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
