The Fishers of Men


The golden light of a god:

sold on the street.


the silver promises and warming love:

stocks on a shafted market.


Commodities, sold and destroyed,

one store to the next.

Shackled to their faith,

beliefs to shatter worlds when it's gone.


A nameless man in control of a market of fear:

The flocks of sheep blindly follow,

the words of their master as ancient and unpursuable as their existence.


Questions battle facts and faith becomes a blindfold.

Quiet minds echo the answer their fathers dared not to ask,

but the question is still out of reach.


Paradox, sweet paradox,

caught between faith and knowledge,

a silent war wages until time ends or the master calls his flock.


And the fishers of men will cast their lines until the light is here or gone.
