Persecution Lyrics

Persecution is a very dirty word these days

At least for the liberal-minded, not for me

My religion doesn't have to change – or so they say

So why do you attack me?

You come at me full steam

Trying to start another intellectual war

My guns are not loaded but my conscience is clean

And all your venom is in vain

Draw your sword and bend the bow

Pull back the arrow to slay those who are pure

But your sword will pierce your own heart

Your bow will be broken in the end

You come at me full steam

Comparing your comfort to my apparent pain

My bed may not be cushioned but it's on solid ground

Can you say the same?

Rock a bye in the treetops

Your fragile comfort is making you sick

Just a breeze and you'll go tumbling to the ground

The bough will be broken in then end

Persecution is a dirty word

Why do you attack me still?

You come at me full steam

Trying to trip my in my hypocrisy

I may not be perfect, but I'm forgiven

Maybe that's the only difference between you and me

Well I may stumble, but I'll never fall

For I'm held up by a right-fisted Man

You can try to shake my faith or shoot me down

But I'll not be broken in the end

No, I'll not be broken in the end
