I cried, but the spirit said no
This time I am right, I cried,
Righteous anger turned my head,
all my thoughts were burning red
To see my enemy lie dead,
The need to fight is strong,
I cried, but the spirit said no
My enemy is wrong, I cried,
My faithless enemy broke trust,
I'd see him trampled in the dust
God knows that my cause is just,
Anger flowed like burning liquor
through my blood and my brain
the need to cause him pain
Was my obsession now, my craving now,
Why look at him standing there,
why can't you see how he hates me?
I want to see him dead, I cried,
You heard the things he said,
I cried, but the spirit said no
There is no kind of soul in I,
but he's a beast and that is why
I'd see him dead, I'd see him die,
Anger flowed like burning liquor
through my blood and my brain
the need to cause him pain
Was my obsession now, my craving now
Why look at him standing there?
Why can't you see how he hates me?
I want to see him dead, I cried
You heard the things he said, I cried
There is no kinder soul than I
But he's a beast and that is why
I'd see him dead, I'd see him die
But the spirit said no, the spirit said no
I wanna walk the peace walk,
I wanna talk the peace talk
I wanna find the freedom in my heart
I wanna walk the peace walk,
I wanna talk the peace talk
I want to find the freedom in my heart.
