JOB (THE ETERNAL DIALOG)
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
Your life has been abandoned and un-lived, and I alone have escaped to
tell you.
I have waited for the light, yet days of affliction confront me, I feel locked
inside this night, and I only ask to be free, I do all I can, in the small
world of a man.
I call upon a prayer, yet wisdom remains unspoken, and I have stood
there and I have seen, where the teeth of the young lions are broken, why
did I not die at birth, what are these rebuilt ruins worth,.
I question all faith and life itself, and the heavens radiate indifference, I
endure plagues and suffering, instructed with expert nonsense, a simple
life eclipsed by the sublime, are we guilty of some cosmic crime.
Please deliver me from the meaningless meaning, a day full of wanting
and a night full of dreaming, don’t leave me to wander thru wonder-less
worlds, only finding fools gold and lusterless pearls, and if fate is the
warden of desire, than it’s just trying to trick the truth out of a liar, all I
want is to really learn how to be, oh god why has thou forsaken me.
