all is quiet and i can t sleep the tree s aglow in front of me red lights depict the blood that once was shed to end all bloodshed no offerings no shame no guilt no scapegoats killed for our sin i once thought god appeased by blood forgave and made us sacred but now i know it s always love it s never been punishment it s never been but we could not accept it it s never been all is plain in communion with the saints those martyred ghosts like the one they followed but death could never hold him down cause death is human nature we re so short sighted we see everything as punitive here so we project our laws and say there must be substitution now i can see the passion was an act of killing the myth forgiving the injustice we re just his kids proving that she loves us so we can live no more blood to be shed no more blame to be spread believe it believe you re beloved believe it believe you re beloved believe it believe you re beloved and live believe you re beloved and live believe you re beloved and live oh oh oooh believe you re beloved and live believe you re beloved and live ooh ooh ooh oooh live
