lyrics

I took a chance you broke my heart just by surprise
You didn't know I had it all and you want it all
You keep on having us looking in
With your silver fences and your bible laws
You loved the fire now your ground is seedless
And your God is helpless

I had the land you brought the bible
Told me to pray away the burning fire
I closed my eyes once I was done
You had my land

The shits you feed me
Brimstone and Fire

I had the land you had the bible
Now you own my land and you ate my son
Somehow you know you're too far gone
Cause your eyes are showing what your mouth won't say
You look around you see the house be burning down while you were asleep
Now you want me to sweep your bloody streets
Mercy for me believe me I will
