Dichotomy

Our Father is a righteous man
And we learn about the world
From the edge of his hand
Our Father is a jealous Lord
And we learn about the world
From reading his words
His words through priests and preachers
Lying through their teeth
His works through snakes and leeches
Still it begs belief
Oh Lord let me go
Oh Lord let me go
I'll never take another soul
Can you find it in your heart to let me go?
Sinners and scholars
Saints so gentle and kind
They've been working on your soul since you were a child
To live is to find pleasure, passion and guilt
Charity and kindness though
The blood has been spilled
His acts are wrath and fury
Famine and disease
Against the rocks he hurls us
Raging stormy seas
Oh Lord let me go
Oh Lord let me go
I'll never take another soul
Can you find it in your heart to let me go?
They see your pain
They fail to care
Head down, hands bound
To open heaven's gates
His acts are wrath and fury
Famine and disease
Against the rocks he hurls us
Raising stormy seas
Oh Lord let me go
Oh Lord let me go
I'll never take another soul
Can you find it in your heart to let me go?
Oh Lord let me go
Oh Lord let me go
I'll never take another soul
Can you find it in your heart to let me go?
