Escape From Planet Cancer
Showbread

The sea is stained with the shadow of us

As we cut through the skies overhead

It moves through the opaque chasm of black

As the west, disappearing, melts red

Inside the churches all turned to dust

There are fingernail tracks in the wall

Someone was struggling to find their way out

But instead they found nothing at all


And over the sea in a warm sunny place

Men and women sit watching tv

They say, it's a shame anyone has to die, but it was either them or me.


It was so easy to gather up embers

And watch as the spark caught the chaff

It's harder today when the words that we say are all wasting away in a fight we outlast


All safe and snug, tucked away in our mansions

We smile feeling comfortably safe

And over the sea there's a dark cold place

Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach, washed away



All this talk of war and peace

And what it means to be free

All this conforming and all this rebellion

And the toll that it's taken on me

When we dig up the treasure that we've hidden

And we find our hearts there in the dirt

Do we pledge allegiance to a man or a place?

Or ourselves or a flag or a book or a church?

Can power over anyone ever make us free?

Are safety and security all that we believe?

Is there something more to this?

A dangerous hope indeed

That Jesus Christ is the truth that sets us free


Maybe there's good to be done

Where darkness abounds

We dare to hope

Use love to beat evil down
