The Problem of Pain Lyrics by Attalus

Post Tenebras Lux

2011

[Intro]
A dramatic and emotional end to a standoff in [Carey?] after a gunman took hostages at a bank. It started at 3 P.M. After hours of waiting, two of the hostages are released. Another agonizing hour later, just over six tonight, the suspect emerged, holding a gun to the head of one of the hostages. Snipers felt they had no choice. They shot him...
We're looking at more than a dozen dead, and that number could very well be higher. And take a look at the pictures still coming in. First, the bomb blast, tearing through the heart of Oslo. [Covering?] government buildings, shattering glass, scattering debris...
The tsunami crashed in and it's quite a surprise at least, devastation here as we puzzle through some sort of shipping containers that's been left...
Breaking news out of Afghanistan. Thirty-one troops and seven Afghan soldiers are dead after a NATO helicopter crashed to an overnight operation...
Opened fire on a camp for teenagers learning about politics. The gunman was arrested by a police officer who opened fire with an automatic weapon. People fled, throwing themselves into the water to try to swim away. When it was over, a witness described the carnage: twenty-five to thirty bodies strewn across the shore, some partly in the water...
All around this area, borders are now going up. For the second night running, we've got [cop?] attack acts of violence. This is what the police feared. What they're calling the pure criminality...
[Verse 1]
The blood, the tears, the sweat
Why does it feel so wrong?
Disaster, pain, and death
Oh God, where have You gone?
The world was in Your hands
You let it fall headlong
So either You're not good
Or You're just not that strong
[Chorus]
'Cause the problem of pain
Is a problem we all go through
It turns us away
From all we once saw in You
It's not just an intellectual question
It's the cry of a heart that's breaking in two
Pain is the place where you fall from grace
[Verse 2]
Then God said, "The blood, the tears, the sweat
I died to right your wrong
Disaster, pain, and death
Oh man, where have you gone?
The world was falling fast
I cast myself headlong
To save your rebel souls
To prove my love is strong
[Chorus]
"The problem of pain
Is a problem I too, went through
I shouldered your hell
And emptied myself for you
It's not just an intellectual question
It's the sound of a veil dividing in two
'Cause pain is the place where I give you grace"
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
The problem of pain
Is a bridge between God and man
In the shape of a cross
It ushers us back to Him
We don't need an intellectual answer
We just need more strength to reach the end
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause pain is the place where healing awaits
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
'Cause pain is the place where healing awaits
Pain is the place where healing awaits
Pain is the place where our hearts learn faith again
[Outro]
Pain is the place where our hearts learn faith again
