Theocracy - Light Of The World lyrics

So the candle's gone out, it's been soaked by the rain And the cold winds of doubt have extinguished the flame The lighthouse sits idly in darkness again As the ship sails ocean alone The sun's frozen over and all has gone cold And the fires of the past have been bought and then sold And the light on the porch is abandoned and old So the child cannot find his way home Arisen Forbidden We keep our candles hidden Born leaders That follow, floating with the tide "You are the light of the world," He said But we've blown out our candles And left men for dead Singing "we are the light of the world, He said" As the darkness descends on us all If we were the light of the world today Would we hide in the shadows And scare them away? Are we the light of the world Or are we failing to answer the call? Men love the darkness Much more than the light For their deeds can be kept out of mind Out of sight And the line has eroded Between wrong and right Like it's all relative after all To stand like a wall and resist the temptation To sell ourselves out For hollow acclimation And cheapen the message A weakened foundation Revealing the cracks in the wall No power No glory No one to tell their story No wonder It's all unraveling "You are the light of the world," He said But we've blown out our candles And left men for dead Singing "we are the light of the world, He said" As the darkness descends on us all If we were the light of the world today Would we hide in the shadows and just look away? Are we the light of the world Or are we failing to answer the call? To lift up the fallen To stand for the downtrodden The poor and the hurting Are our ministry "You are the light of the world," He said But we've blown out our candles And left men for dead Singing "we are the light of the world, He said" As the darkness descends on us all If we were the light of the world today Would we hide in the shadows and darken the way? Are we the light of the world Or are we failing to answer the call?
