THE DANCE

THE DANCE

The light is not on
and no one's home
There's rats playng
in your thunder dome
and you are so sure
that you're alone
Welcome to the world of men

Up on your screen
the dancers rise and fall
They move together quickly
They hurry, then they stall
and now they casually
lean against a wall
Welcome to the world of men

Everything is shouting at them;
Listen to your heart
They don't ever listen
and so they fall apart
They will externalize
So life will never start
Welcome to the world of men

Images will capture them
They will never see
what it is God says to them
through their depravity
Their deaf ears will not listen
and they are you and me
Welcome to the world of men

Dark addictions prosper
They cover the whole earth
Just because men fail to 
see what they are worth
Instead, they try to earn their
damaged soul's rebirth
Welcome to the world of men
