Stained glass windows
Celebrate your image
Foes you have vanquished
In your omnipotence
Your likeness hanging
High above the altar
Sly grin on your face
I can feel your sneer
I bow my head and genuflect
Supposed to keep my eyes closed
You have told me this
Since I was two years old
But I cannot help
that the truth is what I seek
And on this day
I sneak a peek
And to my utter shock I find
I am alone in this temple
The pews are all empty
Empty, except for me
CH
These are the victories of his majesty
In whose likeness and image you are created
A face that your mother really hated
But that's your problem, not his
In this moment of confusion
I turn my head an inch or two
Breaking all protocol
I now my due punishment
Will be severe and swift
Because you "love me"
I can feel your sneer
But I cannot help myself
In a moment of weakness
I give in to my curiosity
No one behind me
No one around
I alone kneel
I alone kneel... in worship of you
CH
These are the victories of his majesty
In whose likeness and image you are created
A face that your mother really hated
But that's your problem, not his
We sing your praises
And your glory
Oh, won't you tell us that
Same old story again
All your jokes are funny
Your days are always sunny
Your nose is never runny
You can do no wrong
Open my other eye
No other pews
Just a hard wooden chair
With my name
No one else in the choir
I alone have been assigned
To sing your praises
I sing your praises
A one-man worship team
Designated by you
Since the day that I was born
My duty: Celebrate your every move
Without question
Or suffer your fury and scorn
CH
These are the victories of his majesty
In whose likeness and image you are created
A face that your mother really hated
But that's your problem, not his
Outside in the sunshine
People living their lives
While I alone maintain
This candlelight vigil
For 54 years
I've been sitting in this chair
Obedient
Waiting for you
To bestow upon me
The redemption that you've promised
Since my childhood days
Hot winds blowing
And the rains never come
Who's the biggest fool?
That would be me as you slither away
CH
These are the victories of his majesty
In whose likeness and image you are created
A face that your mother really hated
But that's your problem, not his
