can you hear the voices
giving all the choices
writing scriptures of tomorrow
drawing pictures filled with sorrow

will there be denial
when we face the trial

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
now you're learning
by turning away

using more than wisdom
could you make us listen
drivin' into absolution
waiting for a contribution

will there be denial
when we face the trial

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
going through the stages
broken dignity
like a falling angel
shattered prophecy
now your learning
by searching turning the pages of life

will there be denial
as we face the trial
do you hear the voices
distant, long gone noises
into absolution
for the contribution
shaping new confusion

shattered prophecy
on the rock of ages
shattered prophecy
going through the stages
broken dignity
like a falling angel
shattered prophecy
now your learning
by searching turning the pages of life
