Walking Dead On Broadway – Gospel Of The Kingdom lyrics

Hear the good news

A scenery of chaos sets the tone for your diplomacy
Bring us in the mood to find your violence attractive
Fear makes us believe
That oppression is our destiny

Silence our conscience
Convince us of our privilege by making our neighbours suffer
Scarcity, precariousness and creeping instability
Are the voices you have summoned to speak in your favour
You‘re not heralding the arrival of peace
You‘re just postponing the constant threat of war

Do you promise us relief
Once you have won the last fight
Or will you lose your credit
When the ever next victory is not in sight?
You conceptualize the rescues
As much as the plights

We are tired of your celebrations
Your solemn declarations and your gospel of self-worship
You speak of life but your words taste like ashes
You might think you are invincible
As long as we are held to think we depend on you
In adoration of the surface of sway and might

Thy kingdom shall perish
Thy will be relinquished

Oh lord
The proud shall be scattered in the thoughts of their hearts
The mighty shall be brought down from their blasphemous thrones
Oh lord
Those of humble estate shall be exalted
The hungry shall be filled with good
The rich be sent away empty handed

Their gospels desacralized

We are tired of your celebrations
Your solemn declarations and your gospel of self-worship
You speak of life but your words taste like ashes
Your glory is bizarre and your spirit is full of death

Silence our conscience
Convince us of our privilege by making our neighbours suffer
Scarcity, precariousness and creeping instability
Are the voices you have summoned to speak in your favour
You‘re not heralding the arrival of peace
You‘re just postponing the constant threat of war
You are the false angels to tell the lore of submission

You are the servants of the lord of this world
Thy kingdom shall perish
Thy will be relinquished

Inverted christ
Bringer of sacrifice
Lord of lies
You shall be replaced
