Raise Your Weapon

Album: Around the Sun

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection

As your latest triumph draws the final straw

Who died and lifted you up to perfection?

And what silenced me is written into law.

I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me

And I turn my head away

If I look I'm not sure that I could face you.

Not again. not today. not today.

If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow

And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge

There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected.

There's a voice in me that says you will not win.

And if I ignore the voice inside,

Raise a half glass to my home.

But it's there that I am most afraid,

And forgetting doesn't hold. it doesn't hold.

Now I don't believe and I never did

That two wrongs make a right.

If the world were filled with the likes of you

Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight.

Putting up a fight. m
