SINALOA LYRICS

"Drawing In Dirt"

our leaders wear christianity like a policeman wears a badge, as a skill they’ve learned, as an authority they’ve been given. it is a definite set of values that they claim to adhere to, and a moral life they claim to be living. this christianity they use has lost the intent of its origins. this is not the religion of slaves; of hope to withstand hardship. it gains glory in global markets, and is the sound of sirens. these are creators of doom, misunderstanding the concept of god. they use god to serve them, and the altar has become a throne. the lions of old have not been tamed, but now the one called christian sends them out to gnaw on new bones. these christians read and recite, but tradition has removed the love from pages written in rapture. these are stealers of bread. these are murderers. those who allow their power, who usher in kings — they, too, are stealers of bread. they, too, are murderers. so, what will we draw in the dirt? how do we find those to trust with sermons of the people’s work? when rome is renewed, where will the captured escape? what will bring an army to combat hate? they stole god, and kill in that name. they maim, and attempt to dictate worth. we do not see that a savior came. so our answers must come from the earth. our god will be our love for each other. our church made of our sisters and brothers.
