Sandpeople - Any Given Sunday lyrics

If you could see from the
Perspective in my eyes, you know
I could see by your expression
That the message was denied
And it won't, seem to ever let us compromise
So breathless I define what I
Was never meant to know
I know, this is an unprecedented time
The treacherous divide
From the precious and divine
Stay with me for a second and I'll try
Explaining sentences I rhyme with the
Side I've never shown

I know a lot of people that believe
In god that are slowly veering
Toward a mind state where they
Don't fully fear Him
I fear god and his glorious gold appearance
But I also believe that chi is the
Same thing as the holy spirit


I may wilt in the fire of free will
From my vices but there's power bestowed
In being built in His likeness
I still get bent, reverting walk to crawl
Learning it'll certainly take more than
Love to conquer all
To conquer all you must be invincible
By teaching the little boys and
Teaching the little girls
Plant that knowledge seed in the mineral dirt
The Bible wasn't meant to be
Only literal words and if you get to know me
You'll find little that you like
Caught between the good and evil with
The riddles that I write my body, mind
And soul are just the minerals of light
To a combination making up the
Pixels in my life
So why am I confused with delusions of a love
When I'm incapable to feel the hearts
I ruin when I touch
I've fallen from a god that
Doesn't listen to my prayers
'Cause the cry for help is coming
From a voice that isn't there

We watch tragedies happen and ask why
(ask why)
A reaction based on fear and desperation
No explanation is given we ask why (ask why)
There's little faith left within us
And that's fine (that's fine)
We watch tragedies happen and ask why
(ask why)
A reaction based on fear and desperation
No explanation is given we ask why (ask why)
It might test your strength to the finish
But that's life (that's life)

What if the first time I
Meet you it's all judgment?
What if the first time you reached
Me I was on drugs?
What if I'm speaking for us all
Just looking deep into the fog
Still believing that there's more
Than meets the eye
This idea of deities in the
Sky and demons underneath
Our feet is for peace of mind
Are we so blind we don't understand that
Hell and paradise reside on the same planet
Whether the holy land is yours
Or the holy land's mine
I don't think it's holy no more
It's full of landmines
And you can't find the truth in religion
But you can find God in yourself
See that's true inner vision
See for me kneeling to pray in
A church is no different
Than how I feel when I'm saying these words
Got traded in every day service
For your weekly mass
Tell the priest peace and to keep
His hands off of your seeds
I was raised at an early age
To pray that the pearly gates
Would open their arms and
Enclose them around me
When I died there'd be heaven sent
Innocently entering the sanctity of
Worshiping the Almighty it was easy enough I
Guess believing and trust
Were just two character trait's
I misplaced very young
Gave it my all and made it my calling
To be a servant of God and
To help save the fallen
But time would tell that my mind had fell
As a result of the pitfalls of paradise
I live my life in strict accordance to rules
Men have decided that a god laid before us
I can't buy divine intervention
Can't decide between divided religions
I find only a few signs have been given
And if I can deny it
It ain't undeniable, is it?

If you could see from the
Perspective in my eyes, you know
I can see by your expression
That the message was denied
And it won't seem to ever let us compromise
So breathless I define what I
Was never meant to know
I know this is an unprecedented time
The treacherous divide from the
Precious and divine
Stay with me for a second and I'll try
Explaining sentences I rhyme with the
Side I've never shown
