SENSELESS...



SENSELESS

shots in the dark
A cry of pain
Death's bright spark
And evil's brief reign

Blaze of glory
Riding into the sun
Time for a new story
The old ones been done

Tired of a world insane
Meaningless illogic
Scrambles your brain
And clogs it

Hyped up lies
On the tv screen
Some fool dies
What does it mean?

Morals are fables
Do your own thing
Turn over the tables
Of moronic songs we sing

Our walk is now a crawl.
What a joke we are
Lost we are one and all
Well not the Movie Star

A life of fun and fame!
Yeah! There's the ticket!
Make yourself a name
And then hide in a thicket

Or sit at you desk
And tell a little tale
But don't remove your mask
You'll scare them all to Hell

There's no sense the way it is
There has to be more
Why is it like this?
Who can settle the score?

I see a Hill
Three Crosses on top
So much pain makes me ill
Lord please make it stop!

A hammer hits a nail
All our confusion swings
This is the point of the tale
As the metal rings

A man? Or God?
You must decide
A senseless world so odd
Or a plan on God's side?

No sense anywhere
But before this Cross
So I'll say a prayer...
