"Earthen" lyrics

What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?

I've witnessed them die far too young to suffer
Seen the skin turn gray as the life leaves their eyes
I've begged and pleaded above and below
To take the place ov those in tribulation
This feeling has birthed my disbelief
There's nothing to provide any comfort
Liars continue preaching with stained tongues
We're told it's all part ov the plan
Blinded by this forced loyalty
This forced loyalty

I've searched this life for answers
I've waited for a miracle
I've prayed and prayed
Constantly fallen to my knees
Begging for divine intervention
But nothing responds to me

What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?

I've watched them wither away
Far too young
Body and mind wide awake
Slipping into decay

Why would they be forced to endure such pain?
Why would they be forced to endure such pain?

I see now I have nothing to give
For no one's in control
And god and faith mean nothing

What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?
What kind ov god would test a child?

I've witnessed them die far too young to suffer
See the skin turn gray as the life leaves their eyes
I've witnessed them die far too young to suffer
