our ship is enveloped by the shadow
of the spaceship that's adrift overhead
it cuts through the cosmos like we through the sea
on solemn sails of stoic lead
soon will they descend on us like fissured masks of clouded jewels
and i proclaim that i'm lord of myself and become the lord of fools
the crowns that sing the song of sirens, drifting shadows in the deep
anticipating our arrival like eyes within its murky keep
do you have a hand in it?
is yours the only hand in it?
are we to believe there's really no evil, it's just made to look like it?
do you had a hand in it?
is yours the only hand in it?
and i can't help but wonder if we were helpless to resist
is a God that is so sovereign also a God that takes no risks?
i am haunted by the specter of possibilities escaping
if what God does is always good and could happen no other way
then it would not be good if one less died or if one more soul was saved
if my actions are all orchestrated according to holy design
why is it that wars, gas chambers and the raping of women are not divine?
if the almighty forced our hands and lined us all up into place
how can he then look upon this evil with contempt and turn away his face?
Augustine wrote it in a book and dragged Calvin and Luther along
suffice it to say the wisest of wise can be so disastrously wrong

Showbread è una rock band cristiana americana originaria di Guyton, Georgia. Formatasi nel 1997, il gruppo ha subito numerose modifiche nella formazione nel corso degli anni, pur mantenendo i due membri fondatori, Josh Dies e Patrick Porter. Dies è il principale compositore e direttore creativo di Showbread, garantendo una coerenza stilistica nonostante le variazioni della band. Fino al 2007, la band ha avuto due cantanti principali, tra cui Ivory Mobley. Josh Dies è anche autore dei romanzi "The Spinal Cord Perception", "The Insect" e "Nevada". Showbread ha attirato l'attenzione dei media nel 2006 quando un video fan per il brano "Dead By Dawn" è stato pubblicato su YouTube. Il video, visto dalla band e condiviso sul loro sito web, ha scatenato controversie riguardo ai temi lirici di Showbread. Secondo l'ex chitarrista Matt Davis, il nome del gruppo deriva da "un riferimento biblico che Gesù ha usato per dimostrare come il cristianesimo non sia tanto legato alle regole quanto all'amore".
