Tempest - Lyrics - Jacob's Dream

Destiny She calls to me Lifts me from my sleep To come and see Steal away the stars From the sky This tempest turns me and I don't know why Empty promises and compromise Conspiring now to fill My head with lies Clear the clouds from my mind Take me away to Where you reside Through the veil I see a mystery Carnival of fools Before their kings Eternity She beckons me Wakes me with a scream To come and see "Father Where, art thee? Fathern Don't hide from me!" "God is not there; He cannot hear you! Don't waste your time, He never speaks! You've lost your sight; You have no vision. Don't be a fool! I own your dreams…" Lying drained too Tired for sleep Father take My soul to keep "Where is your God? What are you thinking? Call to him louder; Perhaps he's asleep Maybe he's laughing… You're such a fool! It's been quite awhile; Leave him in peace…" Where's the voice of peace That comforts me Touch me with your fire and heal me Racing thoughts That seem to chase the wind On an isle of doubts I'm waiting Why have you forsaken me? "Hear me now!", I'm pleading "God is not there; He cannot hear you! Don't waste your time, He never speaks! Your God has left you! Your cries sicken me! Where is your pride? Get off your knees…" "Here I stand In the midst of your pain I still the storm and trials within."
