Liars and Thieves
Unveiling Redemption: The Divine Tapestry of Liars and Thieves
Lyrics
I was praying with one eye open
I was in a state of prayer but remained vigilant and cautious.
When I saw the face of God
I perceived a divine presence, possibly God's face.
He stumbled in through the doors with the gold he'd stolen
God entered, carrying stolen gold, indicating a complex and unexpected nature.
His face full of shock and awe
God's expression showed a mix of surprise and admiration.
He was a picture of the life he'd chosen
God embodied the consequences of the chosen life, marked by pain and grief.
Full of pain and full of grief
The image of God reflected the struggles and sorrows of existence.
It was then I remembered the words one spoken
A recollection of a previously spoken truth: God exists among liars and thieves.
There's a God among liars and thieves
A acknowledgment that divinity coexists with flawed individuals.
And I won't cover my eyes
Refusal to ignore the truth; not avoiding the reality of God among imperfections.
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
Despite appearances, acknowledging the beautifully crafted disguise of God.
The face of God is hiding inside
God's true essence is concealed beneath a deceptive exterior.
I've been searching these stained glass windows
Actively searching for a genuine connection with the divine.
To find the face of God
The quest to find the true face of God within sacred spaces.
But all I've found are lifeless statues
Encountering only lifeless representations rather than the actual divine presence.
Out of reach with no visible flas
Unreachable and lacking authenticity, akin to false idols.
So I climbed a steeple for a glimpse of his face
Ascending a steeple in pursuit of a genuine glimpse of God.
Something that I've never seen
Encountering a revelation never witnessed before.
And there he stood at the crossroad of grace
God stands at the intersection of grace, holiness, and justice.
where holiness and justice meet
A symbolic meeting point of divine virtues.
And I won't cover my eyes
Reaffirmation not to turn away from the truth about God's complexity.
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
Recognizing the artistry in God's concealed identity.
The face of God is hiding inside
The genuine face of God is hidden beneath an intricate facade.
And I won't live my life blind
Commitment to living with open eyes, avoiding spiritual blindness.
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
Acknowledging the disguised beauty underneath the surface.
The face of God is hiding inside
The true essence of God remains concealed.
We are the thief in the night
Identification with the metaphorical "thief in the night."
We're the liar on the run
Acknowledgment of being a deceptive individual running from truth.
We've got nowhere to hide
Acknowledging the inability to escape accountability.
We're caught in the act
Caught in the act, facing consequences for actions.
Guilty of all our lust
Admitting guilt for succumbing to desires and lust.
The line between right and wrong
Highlighting the universal struggle between right and wrong.
Cuts through each of us
Emphasizing the inherent moral conflicts within everyone.
Take an eye for an eye
Suggesting a cycle of retaliation, turning hearts cold and unfeeling.
And turn your heart into stone
The destructive consequence of seeking revenge.
This is all we've lived for
A commentary on a life dedicated to superficial pursuits.
It's all we know
Recognition that this superficial existence is all that is known.
And our lives are mirrors reflecting back our souls
Our lives are mirrors reflecting the true nature of our souls.
I won't push you away
A commitment not to push others away despite flaws.
And I won't cover my eyes
Refusing to turn a blind eye to the truth about God's disguise.
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
Recognizing the artistry in God's hidden identity.
The face of God is hiding inside
Affirmation of the concealed face of God.
And I won't live my life blind
Choosing not to live life in spiritual blindness.
Cause' underneath you're beautifully crafted disguise
Acknowledging the beauty beneath God's deceptive exterior.
The face of God is hiding inside
Reiteration that the true essence of God remains hidden.
