In the PRIDE of your heart you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.”
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.
–Ezekiel 28:2 (NIV)–
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed:
“God, I thank you that I am not like other people—
robbers, evildoers, adulterers—
or even like this tax collector.”

they are all dumb dogs, they cannot BARK.
–Isaiah 56:10 (KJV)–
CRY ALOUD, spare not,
LIFT UP THY VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET
and shew my people their TRANSGRESSION,
and the house of Jacob their SINS.
–Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)–
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city,
and CRY AGAINST IT;
for their wickedness is come up before me.
–Jonah 1:2 (KJV)–

Break the fall again
Idolize the harvest we hold
I’ve left enslaved
Tragic
Impress
Lost love
Lost love
Lost love
Lost love
–The Chariot, “Impress”–
