I saw a place
Both beautiful and blistering
And cruel and cold the same
The sun was like a lion
Bearing down upon it's pray
Death valley stained in crimson
For the moon to wash away
And I envisioned rows of gallows
For the world to look upon
One step to bringing order
To a planet tempting chaos
Can you feel it coming down
The righteous wrath of God
Revealed from out of heaven
For the innocent blood
Crying from the ground
While the wicked seem to prosper
And glory in these days
As if their ways were hidden
As if they had escaped
We have lost our sense of justice
Smearing lines of right and wrong
Despising any standards
We blindly stumble on
Bleeding hearts may scream compassion
What of those that cannot cry
A life is worth a life
Justice... Merciful and blind
Innocent blood
Is crying from the ground
It's coming down
Near the gateway to Mojave I saw a place Both beautiful and blistering And cruel and cold the same The sun was like a lion Bearing down upon it's pray Death valley stained in crimson For the moon to wash away And I envisioned rows of gallows For the world to look upon One step to bringing order To a planet tempting chaos Can you feel it coming down The righteous wrath of God Revealed from out of heaven For the innocent blood Crying from the ground While the wicked seem to prosper And glory in these days As if their ways were hidden As if they had escaped We have lost our sense of justice Smearing lines of right and wrong Despising any standards We blindly stumble on Bleeding hearts may scream compassion What of those that cannot cry A life is worth a life Justice... Merciful and blind Innocent blood Is crying from the ground It's coming down Explain Request ×
