Testo Stormclouds

Turned on my radio, to listen for awhileBut the junk they play gets worse every dayFlipped on the tv, hoping for a smileUntil I felt my brain begin to decayUnborn children murdered by the millionsSacrificed so mom can run freeShattered victims scattered through the wreckagePicking through what once used to beAs the stormclouds roll from the crest of Mount ZionWho will turn away and be saved? Captured spirits, bloodied on the insideLanguishing in chains they can't seeHopeless captives, clawing at their bindingsRunning from the one with the keyFoolish dreamers, trusting in tomorrowCounting on what never can beA lying promise dangles in their faces"Take the mark and walk away free"Holy Saviour, murdered by the massesSacrificed so man could go freePatient Father, waiting for the harvestReaching out for you and for meAnd when the good news shimmers in the spotlightFreedom finds a home on the stageSo come and join us; your life won't last foreverIts over with the turn of a pageAs the stormclouds roll from the quest of Mount ZionWill you turn away and be saved?
