A Prayer To Afflict The Comfortable Lyrics - Singles - If Hope Dies

it's so much easier 

to avert our eyes 

from all the suffering 

and injustices 

that permeate our lives 

to be in the midst of 

sickness and pain 

and always keep our 

eyes fixed ahead 

can only be explained 

away by killing 

your conscience 

because we all know 

that what we can't see 

is of no consequence 

 

there is some truth to the doctrine 

that ignorance is no excuse 

by knowing nothing you are 

a silent partner in their abuse 

 

so just close your eyes, 

so you don't have to see 

suffering out of sight, 

is more action out of mind 

 

knowing what i know 

about man's inhumanity to man 

i could only hate myself 

if i left these words unsaid 

don't be paralyzed by 

you're partnership in these crimes 

we have the chance to redeem 

ourselves for those who've died 

 

to ignore all the signs 

that man is so unkind 

and partake in this culture of death 

makes all who don't acknowledge 

just as guilty 

 

there's still so much to fight for 

even though this world 

seems rotten to it's core 

i know that life can spring anew 

from it's remains 

it's worth all we can do 

to see it through 

to better days
