The Grand Inquisitor
Falling from Grace: Defiance and Liberation in The Grand Inquisitor
Lyrics
The same old fate
The ongoing, unchanging destiny
Beyond the veil
Beyond what is readily seen or understood
You are sheltering our eyes
You hide the truth from us
Thou condemn us so justly
You judge us fairly and rightfully
A blinding faith
A faith that blinds, obstructs vision
Remains alone
Remaining solitary, without support
Heaven will no send a sign
Heaven won't communicate a signal
Thou condemned us so righteously
You've judged us with such fairness
Oh I walked away
Oh, I distanced myself
Fell from grace
Fell from a state of favor or grace
I fell from grace
I lost favor
I walked away
I distanced myself
Fell from grace
Fell from a state of favor or grace
I fell from grace
I lost favor
I thought it over
I reconsidered, reflected on it
You can call me the brother of Lucifer
You may refer to me as akin to Lucifer, rebellious
I rescind my ticket to heaven
I cancel my reservation for heaven
Because suffering is so deceitful
Because suffering is misleading or dishonest
For the sake of freedom
For the cause of liberty and its struggles
And all it's strife
The difficulties and conflicts of freedom
Trembling and terrified if thou should take away thy hand
Fearful and trembling if you were to let go
Oh I walked away
Oh, I distanced myself
Fell from grace
Fell from a state of favor or grace
I fell from grace
I lost favor
I walked away
I distanced myself
Fell from grace
Fell from a state of favor or grace
I fell from grace
I lost favor
I thought it over
I reconsidered, reflected on it
You can call me the brother of Lucifer
You may refer to me as akin to Lucifer, rebellious
I rescind my ticket to heaven
I cancel my reservation for heaven
Because suffering is so deceitful
Because suffering is misleading or dishonest
I never agreed upon
I never agreed to relinquish my self-importance
Letting go of my vanity
But life is too brief
But this life's too short
With only one certainty, one destination
With but one shore
My identity erased or revoked
My name withdrawn
Seeking comfort, wanting to feel relaxed
Please help me feel at ease
Once and for all
Once and for all
Finally, I can declare that
I finally can say that
I reconsidered, reflected on it
I thought it over
You may refer to me as akin to Lucifer, rebellious
You can call me the brother of Lucifer
I cancel my reservation for heaven
I rescind my ticket to heaven
Because suffering is misleading or dishonest
Because suffering is so deceitful
I choose not to go to heaven due to the deceptive nature of suffering
