Betty Elders - War Between the Fears lyrics



Call upon the innocent
Call upon the weak
Call me down an avatar
I am afraid to speak
Won't you conjure me one witness
Let him dare to share the truth
Then pelase call upon my children
For they never needed proof

I am silenced by your intellect
Confounded by your brain
I have stood before the altar
And I've found myself in flames
Oh I've seen the burned-out buildings
And the rubble in the streets
And I've stood beside your people
But they lie between the sheets

Now there is a distant fire
And the smoke does surely rise
For the watchman in teh tower
He doth seek to crucify

I have come before your counsel
With your name upon my tongue
I have counted every bullet
You have held on everyone
There is no shame in mercy
But there are no heroes here
And there will be no survivors
In this War Between the Fears

Still you call out to your brothers
Yes you raise the battle cry
While you fornicate the others
You would love what you despise
Tell me who does tend your children
While you're polishing your throne
The Wolf is in The Garden
And your lambs are all alone

I have read The Book of Knowledge
I have pondered every page
And the madman-in-the-mirror
Looks a lot like my own face
Oh I question every answer and
The Keeper of The Keys
He has led my children from me
To the land of his disease

And they stood before the altar
He did pound upon his breast
And I felt my courage crumble
They were easily impressed

Call me down a warrior
Call me down a sage
Call my God a taxi for I fear
He is too late
And I'll conjure you some mercy
If you'll let my people go
And I will not tell the children
What they would not want to know
