God is a Strangely Absent Father Lyrics
God is a Strangely Absent Father - Assemblage 23
Depend on me
And I will let you down
Repeatedly
You'd think you'd have learned by now
In your hour of need
I'm nowhere to be found
And while you bleed
I'm indifferent
God is a strangely absent father
His back is turned perpetually
All the orphaned sons and daughters
Abide in their suffering
Cry out to me
And I won't hear a thing
My door is closed
And I'm not listening
When troubles come
You'll be on your own
Divided from
Some saintly guidance
God is a strangely absent father
His back is turned perpetually
All the orphaned sons and daughters
Abide in their suffering
Believe in me
It won't make me exist
No matter how
That rumor may persist
Your kingdom is
The earth on which you walk
Reap your reward
Before its too late
God is a strangely absent father
His back is turned perpetually
All the orphaned sons and daughters
Abide in their suffering
