Keys
Austin Lucas

Does the bustle of big cities

Hold the keys to making men

Or are they made by tools and toil

An honest day demands

I was told once

only battle could save me

from my own worthlessness

My generation needed it some death

You ain’t a man he said

Until you’ve dealt some death


But I’ve seen daylight shine

near twice as bright

in the eyes of younger men

And that brightness turn

to blackest coal

When fixed to bitter ends

Only mothers see the darkening

Of heart and temperament

In silence do they grieve

as child turns walking dead

And you tell me that a man

just ain’t a man

Until he’s dealt some death


This is how my faith

came to be shattered

in these troubled times

While others drew theirs closer

Sure of favor in gods eyes

On a sick wind

I’ve watched prayers ascend


Bereft of holy light

Finding homes among the hopeless

Filling hollow insides

Singing hallelujah brothers

God is on our side


So if your spirit is unwilling

And your flesh feels old and weak

But you speak such words

of righteousness

Your voice doth shake the trees

Well think about it brother

Who would teach you these things?

Would a god of love

have you on your knees

Now, tell me what side are you on

And in what do you believe?


So does the bustle of big cities

Hold the keys to making men

Or are they made by tools and toil

An honest day demands

I was told once

only battle could save me

from my own worthlessness

Yeah, my generation needed it

some death

You ain’t a man he said

Until you’ve dealt some death
