You are the essence of a life that needs to pray

You are the shadow of a man that bleeds away

You are the hopes and fears that bind us to return

You are the shattered dream that frightens us to burn

Jesus Christ, vengeance is mine

Jesus Christ, leave them behind

Jesus Christ, vengeance is mine

Jesus Christ, please, leave them to die

You are the reason for the wars that plague the land

You are the symbol for the cause in which they stand

You are the one who sits there watching as they die

You are the Son of man that listens as they cry

Jesus Christ, vengeance is mine

Jesus Christ, leave them behind

Jesus Christ, vengeance is mine

Jesus Christ, please, leave them to die

Are you the man who said to turn the other cheek?

Are you the one for this appears to be the weak?

Are you to lift us from this spent found rebirth?

Are you to take us from this stench that fills the earth?

Jesus Christ, vengeance is mine

Jesus Christ, leave them behind

Jesus Christ, vengeance mine

Jesus Christ, please, leave them to die

Bring them to life

Without hate, without pain

Without suffering insane

Without death, without fire

Without lies that feed the liar

Without war, without games

Without fear to take the blame

Without fame, without power

Without drugs that heal the coward

Without violence, without rape

Without sickness, without plagues

Without judgment, without crime

Without hope, without time

Without two, and without three

Without torture over belief

Bring us love

Let us see

Set us free
