lyrics

Draw your blade!
This is swordplay you don’t know what you’re doing here or why.
Break your back!
For a chance to be all you wanted to and never question
“Who are you to drag me down take all I have
If stealings what you need to do ill never tell you have you live your life.
But just for a second reconsider,
Cause people still have feelings to and families, friends we work for till we die.
Wait right there just a second,
I didn’t hear you, I didn’t hear you
When you shot my son with the bullet
We can’t forgive you, we cant forgive you.
We bow our heads in silence as we loath the God who tore
our very life and blood from this tired earth.
Just answer me!
What have I done?!
Why did you take my love?
What was your motive?
I can’t seem to rationalize the way you treated me.
But maybe I’ve been asking all the wrong questions, placing blame and copping out because I know that:
You are light you are love you’re all I need,
You’re my defense my righteous you’re everything.
I’m sorry for the words I say,
Because in all reality,
You are all I need and I am not.
