lyrics

I'm weeding out
the death in me,
and killing all
my enemies.

I wield this sword
for victory;
I'm waging war
on what's unseen.

But God, my chest would like to think
there's still a heart of stone in me.
And though my mortal flesh is weak,
the son of man's alive in me,
and he will kill what's killing me.

So beat your ploughshares into swords,
and consecrate yourselves for war
against the men you were before,
who were crucified and are no more.

But God, my chest would like to think
there's still a heart of stone in me.
And though my mortal flesh is weak,
the son of man's alive in me.

Though I've sabotaged those dear to me,
and torched all that's in my vicinity,
though I've caused a cosmic mutiny,
I partake in this divinity.

Though I've flirted with futility,
and kissed the lips on infidelity,
though I'm drenched in my depravity,
I partake in this divinity.
