And let it be known
I begged for bread but I was given stones
I sought salvation
But everyone told me there was none
I drank the barrel dry
But I couldn’t quench my thirst
I slept away the day
But I still felt sick and tired

If we don’t reach up for heaven
Hell will rise up around us

And let it be known
We bought and sold God until its value was gone
And look around you
We’re going up in smoke because we played with fire
It’s every man for himself
There’s blood on the streets and I’m crying for help
So reach for the light
Before the darkness leaves us blind

And let it be known
Bless the soul of the man who gave me hope
“Emptiness”
How can such a sorrowful word reveal such bliss?
He saw my suffering 
and said there was a cause to it
So there must be an end to it
He showed me a path leading to the end of it
