The Altar With No Name
THE ALTAR WITH NO NAME

Sweet gentle life so vulnerable
Two hearts beat in one
Think before we act
Some things can’t be undone
Growing, in a secret place
Evicted without just cause
Should we dare flaunt
Our own Creator’s laws
Sometimes it’s hard to do what's right
But that donesn't make it wrong
Don’t destroy the beauty
Turn a blind eye to the blame
Don't sacrifice what is not ours
On the altar with no name
There is no clever turn of phrase
That can conceal the act
Can’t hide behind words
It's real and still a fact
What on earth has happened to us
So cold to the truth
Exploited imperfection, our brains have been set on fire
Blinded by the lure of ease, convenience and desire
A father abuses a mother
We all know that’s not right
But why should the child
Pay for it with its life
Sometimes it’s hard to do what's right
But that donesn't make it wrong
Don’t destroy the beauty
Turn a blind eye to the blame
Don't sacrifice what is not ours
On the altar with no name
