Fear of God
Confronting Divine Dread
Lyrics
She lived by a window, disconnected eyes
Living by a window with eyes that seem disconnected from the surroundings.
Holy book beside her, waiting for sign
Having a holy book next to her, anticipating a divine sign.
Crucifix pressed tightly to her silent heart
Clutching a crucifix tightly to her silent heart.
Streets of gold before her, deliverance from the dark
Facing the prospect of heavenly streets and deliverance from darkness.
Fear of God in heaven still remains
Expressing an enduring fear of God in heaven.
Fear of asking daily in His name
Fearful of daily requests to God in His name.
Fear of dying lonely with my pain
Apprehensive about dying alone with personal pain.
Save me from the justice of this burning land
Pleading to be saved from the justice of a burning land.
Walking in the shadow of the big man
Walking in the shadow of a powerful figure.
So forever branded with the mark of Cain
Feeling marked forever with the stigma of Cain.
Stalking like a lion, raging in my pain
Moving stealthily like a lion, consumed by inner pain.
Fear of God in heaven still remains
Reiterating an ongoing fear of God in heaven.
Fear of asking daily in His name
Continuing to fear daily requests to God in His name.
Fear of dying lonely with my pain
Persistently anxious about dying alone with personal pain.
In my room is waiting, one of human form
Indicating the presence of someone in the room with human form.
Feels no sad emotion, nothing to return
Describing this person as devoid of sad emotion and with nothing to reciprocate.
He's coming in my dream, the one I've had before
Anticipating the arrival of a recurring figure in dreams.
He wraps me in white linen, and slowly shuts the door
Depicting a dream where the dreamer is enveloped in white linen, with a gradual closing of a door.
Fear of God in heaven burns within
Conveying an internal burning fear of God in heaven.
Fear of asking vainly to forgive
Fearing the futility of asking for forgiveness.
Fear of dying lonely with my sin
Apprehensive about dying alone with personal sin.
Fear of crucifixion once again
Expressing a recurrent fear of crucifixion.
