Lyrics
-
criticize all criticism
turn the black into the white
engineer blind Patriotism
burn up all the books and kill the light
-
put the liars in all the pulpits
twist the word to meet your greed
the handmaiden of peace is justice
and neither was ever your priority
-
we stand defiant
against your will
wont bow to the golden calf
and the worship of the dollar bill
-
don’t want your heaven
your Heaven is hell to me
we are the ones who have ears to hear
we’re the ones who have eyes to see
-
this is my war dance
-
into the future of certain danger
what won’t you do to stay on top
stare down the barrel of the faceless stranger
walk into the fire with my head held up
-
compromise is the siren that beckons
the easy life on a silver tray
we won’t bow to the fallen idols
got everything we need inside of this day
-
we stand resistant
to your ideas so pure
Always selling security
And never being secure
-
don’t want your heaven
your Heaven ain’t shit to me
Babylon is falling
and her children will be free
-
this is my war dance
-
walk through the fire with my held held high
-
as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
