lyrics

A long time ago a little child left alone in the night
And everything he held dear was taken away
No one knew, no one saw, no one could hear his cries
There was no answer when he quietly prayed

He was changed on that day and forever remain
Silence carved a question mark in the air
The only symbol to live by and to truly embrace
Calling God's name but there was no one there

Solitude - a fortitude that taught him (how) to think
Reverse the curse and take his name in vain
He stood alone through it all, fought the battle within
Returned favor of abandonment

There is no God looking upon our souls
There is no savior to heal our wounds

Solace he found - not in God
Forever unbound by the blood of hypocrisy
Cast the first stone - oh righteous one
Standing unbowed to the tyrants through history

Abandon them for they abandoned you
Forgive them not for they show no repentance
Let them pretend their world is true
They'll run out of time to refund the penance

Praise and sing, rid the sins, but don't fool him in
He turned away as an innocent child
The emptiness, to confess and to trigger the mind
Faith and logic will always collide

On his own, into the unknown and truly set free
No longer hurt by unfulfilled promises
Sans a Father, doesn't matter, that little child was me
Returned favor of abandonment
