Well I don't speak with hatred But I don't speak with love I don't speak of what's sacred Or what's from God above No I don't speak with grudges And I don't speak with spite I let God pass his judgment And well me I got mine Now we're doubting our brothers And our sisters are dead I don't know anywhere We'll be happy within And we're scared and we're lonely We're under our skin And I don't know only Where we will begin 'Cause we're buried in worries We're 'fraid of our neighbors We're looking to liars and murderers for saviors I don't know anyone sicker than me of the sin that we're living in When we are swallowed Swallowed by hate

There's smoke in all the streets And now there's writing on the wall A man's been shot to death And then the moderation calls We're poisoning the water We terrorize the young We brutalize the old And then we laugh when it's all done Who I am is not a choice And who I am is not a crime And people won't rejoice Until the bells of freedom chime With paper skin our savior Tremendously impure Cracks down on all the angels Says the symptom is the cure We throw away our neighbors And murder for disease An illness just like loving Will bring them to their knees Who I am is not a choice And who I am is not a crime And people won't rejoice Until the bells of freedom chime

For the love of life For the love of life In the light of life In the love of light And the strong survive For the love of life And the strong will rise In the endless light For the blood of life For the love of life In the bloodless light For the love of life In the blood is light In the light is life For the love of life For the love of life In the endless light In the blood of life Now the strong will rise For the love of light In the bloodless light Now the strong survive For the love of life For the blood of life And the heavens come For the strongest ones In a universe Made of blood and love In the blood is light In the light is life For the love of life For the love of life
