Semper Fi - Of Praise & Pain

Of Praise & Pain
Written By: Trevor “Hayzer” Hayes

We bear our persecution
Across the many nations
But here, we let our lives grow faint.
No one would believe that I’m a saint.
Brothers killed in painful torment
Sisters burned and we don’t care.
What has happened to the greater Christian?
In the sight of God we fail.

We stabbed that body that hung above our heads.
His crimson blood rained down.

In his name we are clean
Free of fear and suffering.
But we still suffer on the Earth.
Why don’t we care?
We let our families burn
We’re glad it’s not our turn
What has happened to us?
What has happened to us?

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
But the “Great” America has thrown you down
We don’t care, why don’t we care?
God of Jacob, God of Adam
God of Isaac and the God of Abraham
God of Noah, God of Israel
God of Enoch, God of Abel

Our god is not the God of them,
Our god is the god of shameful men
Why don’t we care, why don’t we care.

O god of America, fall down,
Let go of my home, my heart resounds.
My God is the God of them
My God is God no matter when

Elohim, Adonai, Elyon, Yeshua, Christ
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh

Yeah, just something that poofed into my head. I was thinking about the persecuted church, but then halway through it turned into how America's faith has grown stagnant. This song is about breaking away from the god of America, and rejoining the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Oh, and by the way. It's a Screamo song. So put your favorite Metal vocalist to it. :D
