Pick Up the Knife

When they're throwing stones and breaking bones

Don't talk to me of love

Turn your cheek, be one of the meek

Inherent dirt, not heaven above

Wake up, the world is black or white

Bow down or fight, don't whine to me of love

Turn your cheek, be one of the meek

Inherent dirt, not Heaven above

An eye for an eye

Leaves the world blind

If we killed, we'd betray his life

And blood for blood

Will drown mankind

If we had killed, he'd still be alive

The truth of his life cuts like a knife

It's a thin razor edge that we walk

When loves hangs on tree, don't preach forgiveness to me

Or that "love your enemy" talk

Love lies in a grave, you want to be saved?

You wanna live out the rest of your life?

Then pick up the knife

Pick up the knife

Pick up the knife

An eye for an eye

Leaves the world blind

If we killed, we'd betray his life

And blood for blood

Will drown mankind

If we had killed, he'd still be alive

Don't tell me I'm the only one who feels this way

Love's a dead end, you've gotta know we've been played

Don't pretend you can't see that his promise was lies

Power's the key, power's the prize

So cut yourself free, it's in blood we baptize

Pick up the knife
