Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Find myself in the sight of a gun
And selling war never looked so fun
Stand in line for the latest attraction
Dressed in murder like it's hip and in fashion
[Verse 2]
Walked in like we own the place
Trigger pressed down, sweat is cold
Bodies burn with babies in their arms
Hope is where the heart can die
The son into heir
Lay me my bed down
[Verse 3]
Find myself through the sight of a gun
And selling war never looked so fun
Stand in line for the latest attraction
Dressed in murder like it's hip and in fashion
[Verse 4]
Finding ways to be a God
Where the blood can drown my soul
All I wanted was a destination
All I got was all I gave
[Verse 5]
Son into heir
Lay me my bed down
[Verse 6]
Find myself through the sight of a gun
And selling war never looked so fun
Stand in line for the latest attraction
Dressed in murder like it's hip and in fashion
[Verse 7]
Give up because you'll never justify the blood on your fingers
The bullshit look of concern
The cover ups lie and the bloated corpse
Of a system that is begging to burn
[Verse 8]
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
[Verse 9]
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
[Verse 10]
(Oh Lord, our Father)
(All our young patriots)
(Idols of our hearts)
(Go forth to battle)
(Be though near them)
(With them in spirit)
(We also go forth from a sweet peace of our beloved fireside)
(To smite them both)
[Verse 11]
(Oh Lord, our God)
(Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds)
(With our shells)
(Help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale warmth)
(Of their patriot death)
(Help us to drown out the thunder of their guns)
(With shrieks of their wounded writhing in pain)
(Help us to lay waste their humble homes)
(With hurricanes of fire)
(Helps us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows)
(With unavailing grief)
(Help us to tear them out ruthless)
(With their little children to wander unfriended)
(In the waste of their desolated land and rags)
(In hunger and thirst)
[Verse 12]
(Sports of the sun, flames of summer)
(And icy winds of winter)
(Broken in spirit)
(Worn with prevail and pouring)
(Need for the refuge of the grave and denied it)
(For our sake, who adore thee)
(Lord, bless their hopes)
(Blight their lives)
(Protract their bitter pilgrimage)
(Make heavy their steps)
(Water their way with tears)
(Stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet)
[Verse 13]
(We ask it)
(In the spirit of love)
(Of Him, who is the source of love)
(And who is the ever faithful refuge)
(And friend of all that are sore, beset and seek His aid)
(With humble and contrite hearts)
(Amen)
