Doubts

rise, prince of promise
maniac of the pulpit
in god we trust

baptized in holy water
i'll absorb and rust

my betrayal is today with me
i am pariah
and lunacy screams his name
their peace is furious
their sky is evil

it winds in the smoke of a maddening mind
like in that other angel
where only fire is god

i've chosen the inevitable
our nation is unconquerable
i'll look to the sky
dare heaven to cast me down

i could climb forever
[and still never find you]
if you won't show yourself
i''ll just take your place

so for all of eternity
you shall worship me
