lyrics

What kind of witness is this?

What are we teaching our kids?

When the cross and your flag are standing side by side,

Name of God on your lips as you watch them die,

You veil your violence in Christian rhetoric,

But pick you up that sword and you will die by it,

Not by our hand but from the hate that’s inside you,

Don't pretend your war is what Jesus would do,

Your Christian nation is a myth,

Your violence will perish with it,

You think you're the chosen ones of God,

Baptizing your profit wars by wearing that cross,

But when you meet me on the battlefield,

I'll stand before you with empty hands,

Because the true Christian would rather die,

Then see the innocent suffer,

Don't mistake our non-violence for weakness,

You will go through us to the helpless,

Give up now and join the winning side,

Cause to love our enemies were willing to die,

We will not hate you but we won't comply,

We will stand between you and those you want to die,

You can try and break us but we'll wear you down,

With our capacity to suffer,

So hateful and violent men, with crosshairs on the innocent, prepare to meet your judge,

So take your boot off the neck of those in poverty,

Or feel the wrath of heaven's armies,

We will keep turning the other cheek,

Until you see it's you that is weak,

This is a warning to all those who raise themselves to be kings on the backs of the weak, Your time has come and gone, Prepare to meet your Judge,

I picked this up a few years ago, at a time when I really needed an album like this. To this day it is still something that I love to play beginning to end and feel every second of it. Such a amazing expression of humbling yourself lyricwise mixed with the most unique style of Black Gaze I've ever heard. billyspears
