[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Blood on the dawn
Steel in my teeth
War drums on and on
[Verse 1]
Black flags burning on the churchyard wall
Siren faith screaming through the dead night fall
Teeth of the beast in the throat of the weak
Where were you God when the meek just shriek
Boot prints stamped on the book of light
Halo cracked open on a rust nail spike
I spit out prayers like broken glass
Fists to the sky as the tanks roll past
[Chorus]
War on evil
War on me
God stands triumphant
Do you bleed
War on evil
War on me
Take this cross and
Set us free
[Verse 2]
Smoke stained ceiling over dead eyed choir
Screens preach venom dressed up like desire
Golden mouth prophet with a diamond gun
Selling salvation two for one
Kids in the gutter sing their last slow song
Name every sin but we still hang on
If youre so holy why this mess
Answer me God through the bullet proof vest
[Bridge]
Is this grace or
Just more war
White flag nailed to
The temple door
You want faith
I want proof
Hit me with thunder
Tear this roof
[Chorus]
War on evil
War on me
God stands triumphant
Do you bleed
War on evil
War on me
Take this cross and
Set us free
