don’t tread

October 16, 2009

I think this is a great song with great underlying meaning.  Who is the invisible? It makes a lot of sense when you think about it, if in fact you acknowledge the existence of God. I don’t know what was coursing through the mind of the writer of this song, but as I listen to this I cannot help but think of Imago Dei, the image of God written in all of us. It angers me when I see injustice, when I see the strong oppress the weak. I could write a lot more on this and I probably will when i have more time.  The winners write history, but God has the final say, and God will not forget the cry of the oppressed. Rise up.

We’re more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can’t allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we’ll never walk alone

We’re more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We’re emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible
So raise the banner, bend back your bows
We are the image of the invisible
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
We are the image of the invisible

Though all the world may hate us, we are named
The shadow overtake us, we are known

We’re more than carbon and chemicals
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We’re more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can’t allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

Raise up the banner, bend back your bows
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
