(vs. 1) |
|
i have come to give you life |
|
and to show you how to live it |
|
i have come to make things right |
|
to heal their ears and show you how to forgive them |
|
(pre-chorus) |
|
because i would rather die |
|
i would rather die |
|
i would rather die |
|
than to take your life |
|
(chorus) |
|
how can i kill the ones i'm supposed to love |
|
my enemies are men like me |
|
i will protest the sword if it's not wielded well |
|
my enemies are men like me |
|
(vs. 2) |
|
peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication |
|
it's like telling someone murder is wrong |
|
and then showing them by way of execution |
|
(pre-chorus) |
|
(chorus) |
|
(bridge) |
|
when justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war |
|
the ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor |
|
(chorus) |
