Song Lyrics

"Anorexia Spiritual"

by Living Sacrifice
Album: In Memoriam

Insufficient supplication, communion is abstained,
Weary is the spirit as consideration drains.

Duty of seeking peace, not been pursued,
Plenty was promised - agreement misconstrued.

No obedience towards Christ, thoughts not held captive,
Though possessing unfailing love, these ways are disruptive,
Appointed to bring the faith, silent with desires,
Unfaithful words oppress what the Lord requires,
Plans fail for a lack of council; many have advice,
Resenting their correction, exceeding the boundaries of the wise.

Anorexia spiritual, unnoticed as it seems,
Delivered with an advocate, justify its means,
Break the walls agreed to be constructed,
Now begin to fall, wisdom's been abducted.

Seeds have been cast, falling on unfertile ground,
Tolerating what is what is wrong, conflict does abound,
Up against the knowledge of God, arguments and pretension,
Obedience is not fully secured, complete in submission,
Elude those to assemble, not to associate,
Hidden distress established, able to dominate.

Anorexia spiritual, unnoticed as it seems,
Delivered with an advocate, justify its means,
Break the walls agreed to be constructed,
Now begin to fall, wisdom's been abducted.

Recipient of atrocity, misfortunes now arrive,
Ushering into the presence, moment passes by,
Having neglected the innermost being, subjecting it to starvation,
Return to endurance prompted by this demonstration.
