| August Burns Red – Mariana's Trench Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
> This ship is sinking, deeper and deeper. > We’ve abandoned this vessel and left the captain for dead. > Waves thirst for our passing. This ship being the church is sinking and lost. It is broken and lost. > Prepare for the struggle. Prepare to engage. > Our armor tight to the skin, this shield it bears His name. > We are strapped to the teeth, but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats. The church has armored itself to fight a foe with iron. The church has put God's name on the weapons of destruction. > We are going under. We cannot swim under these conditions. > We’re drowning quicker and quicker. > We cannot swim, we cannot swim, we can’t swim under these conditions. > We are drowning quicker and quicker. > We cannot swim, we cannot swim under these conditions You can't swim with iron armor you dummy. The foe to be fought did not exist and the church is killing itself by war-mongering against the wrong enemy. > We have become what we have feared. > Being one with this world. > We’ve become one with this world, Yea. My attempting to fight the world the church has become one with the world. > Pray for Heaven’s titans to rain down, and spare us the pain. > We’re going under. Yeah, just end it. This ship (church) is done for and needs to be smote. |

> The people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert. Surviving the sword was God showing grace after being rejected. The favor found in the desert was rest. > I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. Along with rest was healing. > I am the painter making this mess a masterpiece. This mess is really left up as an exercise to the reader. For myself the mess is my own unbelief, doubt, and pain that are all I have left. > I will rebuild you up again. These lyrics are a promise that life will be given again. |
