Smashing a Tulip

about

To Calvinism.
Tread lightly and question - logic and theology should be best friends.

lyrics

VERSE I
"Damn you to Hell, with no hope" – it’s what you teach.
Fatalism at its best, scarring wrists of teens
shoving pills down mother’s throats, guns to kids’ heads
proving God is the Master Rapist, a Sadist’s His true nature
It’s heinous, impossible to make it to “good” graces
amazing how you can play like He’s the greatest. It’s tasteless!
What’s wrong with you?
“Well, logic withdrew!”
Now millions securing nooses due to ruined worldview.
What’s the point of sharing your “good news”,
when really they can’t understand – yet they’re without excuse?!
How dare you, fool

How dare you, to think they are animals in your eyes.
Too dumb, too dead, screw the lingo – it’s all lies.

It all starts with a tulip,
Beauty blossomed into a fool’s whip.
Beauty blossomed into a bullet.
and you still wonder who’s the culprit

Thoroughly debased? For sure
Completely unable to respond? Bruh, I don’t think so
It ain’t unconditionally elected individual
His people elected to His service as a whole
Limited atonement;
this the one make no sense
How’d He die for the whole world,
But only for chosen?
Grace ain’t irresistible
Can’t tell you how much I sin
Once saved; always saved,
not once saved; always on track, man.

Hatred of existence hardens into banality
Menial drudgery - desolation consumes us
Hatred of existence hardens into banality
Menial drudgery - desolation consumes us

“Chill out, Thani –
what’s with all the angst?
We’ve told you a million times;
This don’t matter in the end!”
But if you’re wrong and it does
And a life's gone to waste
That’s on me for withholding
The second half of amazing grace
I’ve got more to say,
But I’ll let that marinate
I’m out
