Romance Me

Is solace a hopeless crusade

The grandeur of a raping plague

A portrait that is best forgotten

Bed of fire for the dying orphans

Is there a bridge for the endless mote?

A river for the arid throat?

A sun for the winter flower?

A knight in the weeping hour? (Romans 7:24)

The poison sails on ships with pain my veins have never known

My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote (Numbers 21:6-9, John 3:14-15)

A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace (Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Galatians 3:13, Romans 5:12-18)

Romance me (Romans 5:8), Ransom me (1 Peter 1:18-20)

A love lifted, in paradise remember me (Luke 23:40-43)

Romance me, Ransom me

The idol that birthed betrayal (Genesis 3:1-19)

Where eulogies have littered the trail

A song that is sung with a forked tongue

Blackballed by the angels

And we're dropping like flies

An assault to the eyes

Spraying death in every direction

This infection's a torrential tide (Romans 5:12)

Amazing, sweet mercy, romance me, ransom me (Titus 3:4-5)
