Convictions
Tell me
The voices inside their heads are they real?
Persuading them to do evil?
Say
The boys and
girls at their feet, terrified
And yet conviction is
Deeper and darker, the part I’ll never comprehend
No
Tell me
What makes me think I can follow them here
When their convictions are
Deeper and darker, the part I’ll never comprehend
No, a cold-blooded ghost
In their souls, I say
Take it away
Take it away
Make this intolerance change today
Take it away
Take it away
The poison that brings mankind in decay
Tell me
The principles they hold dear are they fair?
And have they done their reflections?
When their convictions are
Deeper and darker, the part I’ll never comprehend
No, a cold-blooded ghost
In their souls, I say
Take it away
Take it away
Make this intolerance change today
Take it away
Take it away
Atrocity must yield to humanity
