Flag of Hate
The devil went to church, bowed his head and knelt to pray
The souls at Emanuel smiled and welcomed him with open arms
He sat with silent hate, he spoke with an evil stare
Then the devil stood and aimed his gift and shot down...
a dozen black souls
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
Concealed behind a flag of hate, the devil craved a colour war
He wanted to turn the clock back, to segregate... to subjugate
God's country hides its racist heart, pretends it's not black & white
But race still taints the King's dream and corrupts equality
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
Abel's strange fruit still hangs and Mississippi burns again
The gun has replaced the rope, become our modern day lynching
Again a nation searches its young soul, too many guns, but no controls
The price for gun liberty is gun horror is it time to find another way
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
The souls at Emanuel smiled and welcomed him with open arms
He sat with silent hate, he spoke with an evil stare
Then the devil stood and aimed his gift and shot down...
a dozen black souls
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
Concealed behind a flag of hate, the devil craved a colour war
He wanted to turn the clock back, to segregate... to subjugate
God's country hides its racist heart, pretends it's not black & white
But race still taints the King's dream and corrupts equality
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
Abel's strange fruit still hangs and Mississippi burns again
The gun has replaced the rope, become our modern day lynching
Again a nation searches its young soul, too many guns, but no controls
The price for gun liberty is gun horror is it time to find another way
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind
