Verse 1 - Braille
Pump The Breaks, stop sign,
you saw the sign now you Ace of Bass
Preacher saw them dollar signs, he on that paper chase
Stuffing profits in his pockets, a wolf with a sheep's appearance
And the reason he's making that scratch,
huh, is cause those ears itch
Pimping out the Gospel, a prostitution of false doctrine
Lies whistle in the wind but we listen if there's a little truth mixed in
Find a pastor that suits you, on your TV with a suit and tie
Hitch a ride in his private jet and you'll be looking stupid fly
Materialism and selfish ambition is a foolish religion
The riches of God's mercy is worth more than your superstition
Tell me how does a Christian
begin to develop discernment and wisdom
First we submit and symbol and sign to the authority of the scriptures
Verse 2 - Odd Thomas
Are you the kind
That's completely consumed by symbols and signs?
If you are that's fine
But don't you find it interesting
How most of the time your self interpreting
Seem to coincide with what's deep inside your hearts desire
Seems rather convenient doesn't it?
I'm not saying that God can't do it, not saying God won't do it
That might very well be the case
I'm simply making an observation
of how much weight you place on it
What seems to be at stake
And how much of your faith is actually banking on it
And how much of your mysticism
is mixed into your religious philosophic system
Sometimes what we believe to be true
from our supernatural pursuits
Is actually a fluke,
a series of events used to distract you from truth
But I'll give you a sign thats obvious
One of the most supernatural acts
is that God through his word
Has actually revealed everything pertaining to life and godliness
There's this idea that an individual
is somehow more spiritual
If he see these so signs and symbols
And takes what's normally invisible and make it simple.
But I say the mark of a mature man
Is the one who reads Gods word and understands
And allows that, to govern his decisions and perspective plans.
Verse 3 - Propaganda
I like it when the winds shifts
They say it's a movement in the spirit
Still small voice yal hear it?
Remember that time I saw that leaf fall
I was positive it was Gods call
Wait for it listen close. Yal miss it?
I site Gideon, Joshua, Samson, Paul
Elijah saw the clouds spilt
I know that God did it
And does it still, still His presence feels like the chills right
And if I'm honest it don't happen often is something must be wrong
It's boring when my life is more like the book of Ruth than exodus
Never seen the parting of an ocean
or a Cloud by day and pillar by night
Just normal everyday working of life
Where things that suck royally is evidence of his royalty
Scratch your temple so deep its simple
Silly us ignore the plain, we prefer a riddle
Dying to see miracle while holding Gods diary
Looking for signs
Chorus
Signs, Symbols, Symbols, Signs
