Forthteller - The Crux

The ancient words of a guiltless man
Reverberate voiceless through a crowd of wolves
A Man of sorrows sent to die
The death of a thief
Separated from eternity
Condemned in the name of piety
We silenced the "blasphemer"!
As a testament to truth
Turn your eyes
Observe the pinnacle of subversion
Fixed to a lamp post for all to see
Hung as a testament to our ingenuity
A trophy of His great design
Brick by brick
We dismantled the temple
Etching the epigraph of enmity
Into the forsaken cornerstone of peace.
Do you hear the voices
Hailing the spectacle
The chorus of unity
Do you hear the voices
Mocking the miserable
He has counted his bones
Collected the ones in your closet
To trade for His own
To the sound of scoffers
The architect reframed eternity
Oh
Why do you seek the living,
Among the graves?
These sepulchers are home
to dust and bones.
