A Past Unknown - Motives

What have you done?
Think you deserve anything and everything?
That’s not how it is

We are the ones who justify everything by the deeds we possess
Adding up to righteousness
When they are all ashes
They will never make us blameless
We are guilty for the crimes we commit
And keep repeating
We cover them up with a front
When will we realize we are the source of chaos?
Our works are rags turned into ashes
The good we have done does not reach salvation
Our motives reveal death
Living forever is a gift

Simplicity has left confusion
An image of what good means
Has been tainted with our disease
Reaching for that image will slowly kill
Corrupts to destroy everything at will
You came to us to prove Your splendor
We try alone and fall into destruction
Our efforts are meaningless
We can’t save ourselves
We will fail, our attempts are void
It’s not what we have done
But everything You have done for us
What You have done for us

We are the ones who justify everything by the deeds we possess
Adding up to righteousness
When they are all ashes
They will never make us blameless
We can’t save ourselves
We need Your help
You can save us
You will never fail
You are the One to make things right
Despite the cover up that we are fine
Our works are rags turned into ashes
It’s not what we have done
But everything You have done for us
What you have done for us
