The Destroyer
Come forward wrath of winter and freeze the arteries
Hardening the hearts of man
Wretched piles of human filth
Your sick will stand rooted in oppression
No
I will not stand idly by and watch you blacken the flesh of my children
With your disdain
I am God
I am the destroyer
Bring forth your spirit of callousness
And I will teach them fearlessness
All my people are witnesses
By my hands I will finish this
My light will be your demise
The devil's hands have been busy so separate flesh from bone
And peel the skin from his lungs
So he can't breathe hate in this world anymore
So he can't breathe hate in this world anymore
Hate breeds hate, but love conquers all
Stand up strong for I am your god and you are my people
You can be everything I want you to be
But first you must die to yourself
But first you must die to yourself and say
It is no longer I that lives, I that lives
But Christ that lives within me
It is no longer I that lives, I that lives
But Christ that lives within me
Hardening the hearts of man
Wretched piles of human filth
Your sick will stand rooted in oppression
No
I will not stand idly by and watch you blacken the flesh of my children
With your disdain
I am God
I am the destroyer
Bring forth your spirit of callousness
And I will teach them fearlessness
All my people are witnesses
By my hands I will finish this
My light will be your demise
The devil's hands have been busy so separate flesh from bone
And peel the skin from his lungs
So he can't breathe hate in this world anymore
So he can't breathe hate in this world anymore
Hate breeds hate, but love conquers all
Stand up strong for I am your god and you are my people
You can be everything I want you to be
But first you must die to yourself
But first you must die to yourself and say
It is no longer I that lives, I that lives
But Christ that lives within me
It is no longer I that lives, I that lives
But Christ that lives within me
