bloodthirsty covenants

we sold our brothers and sisters

severed bloodties between babies and their mothers

stole queens from their husbands

so that our souls would unholy prosper

wake up, repent,

(it’s still happening)

open your eyes

(it’s still happening)

how many more lives must be shot down

when His blood was enough

how many more babies silenced

when His blood was enough

Babylon, we won’t trade in your blasfamous covenants,

locked into choosing between the lesser of two evils

locked into gaining at the expense of another’s loss

locked into grief, shock, outrage, and disbelief

locked into a prison of greed, murder and lies

It’s only the blood of the Lamb that I plead

to cover these streets

It’s only the blood of the Lamb that I plead

to cover these streets

It’s only the blood of the Lamb that I plead

(His blood is enough, that’s enough)

to cover these streets
