Holy Rollovers & This Man's Message

You heard my agony as you watched my falling tears
You sat silent, turned blindly and watched me ravaged by fear

I poured out my soul with my light growing dim
Instead of compassion, you said it was sin

The darkness wanted to conquer, it wanted totality
You watched it settle, to prepare it's looming principality

Alone, alone, alone, I felt so alone
You couldn't muster courage, just a damn drone

Your words only quoted what was in This Man's heart
Him and His words, tearing a woman's value apart

Using protection as a foot and delicacy as a stone
A woman is a woman, but only when she stays home

Forgetting the chapter that said what women are worth
A Proverbial slip that robbed me of feminine mirth

This Man and His message forever tarnished me
This Man and His message cut my veins and made me bleed

He said we were all together but He didn't mean it so
As soon as I aired a question, His eyes said "Go"

I sat weekly and I watched Him on His mount
He climbed a hill to Mars and now He is keeping count

I floundered and I flustered, weak my arms grew
You wouldn't take my hand unless He directed you

Instead it was easier to be silent and turn away
My whole life was affected but it only ruined your day

Don't ask me to be honest if you can't understand my heart
Don't pretend to listen and then tear my words apart

I regret that you hurt me, I regret we ever knew
I regret This Man's Message, I am glad I withdrew

His Message did not match The One that I was told
His Message was for men and women had to be sold

He spoke against most everything that made me who I am
He negated The One Who Made me, who filled me with a plan

I almost lost my purpose, I began to lose my way
Now His Message means nothing, not even on a dark day

His Message no longer dominates, no longer darkens me
I see The One's plan and that's what set me free
