(VERSE)

YO, LIVING IN BELLIGERENT TIMES;
A PEACE OF MIND IS HARD TO FIND,
THERE'S ONLY WAR OUTSIDE. SURVIVE
PUT DOWN YOUR PISTOL, I'M INFINITE;
DIVINE INSTRUMENT, UNIVERSAL INITIATE.

I STAND ON MY SQUARE, WISDOM PREPARED, ASCENDING TO THE COSMIC HEIGHTS;
HAVE BONES FELT THE SUFFER-ATION OF THE SERVANT OR YET THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST? YOU STAND THERE WITH NO FAITH, NO KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR BIRTHRIGHT;
SO YO, LET ME SERVE SOME LIGHT.

YOU'RE MADE IN THEIR IMAGE—WELL, IMAGINE THAT
YET YOUR BRAIN DON'T CONTEMPLATE THEIR DEVICE.
THERE'S SO MUCH DISBELIEF IN THIS ETERNAL STRUGGLE;
THE PROPHET CAME WITH FIRE AND FLAME.
YO, I FEEL NO SORROW FOR SODOM AND GOMORRAH,
AND MY VIEWPOINT WILL NEVER CHANGE.

SEEN—FOR EVER SINCE I CAME IN SHACKLES AND CHAINS; THE FATHER'S BEEN MY GUIDING HAND,
NOW I'M A CAPTIVE MAN LIVING ON CAPTURED LAND— AND THAT'S LIKE A PICTURE WITHOUT A FRAME.
ADAM WITHOUT EVE, TREES WITHOUT LEAVES, CHILDREN OF THE STARS OVER-STAND;
YO, I PARTAKE IN, EVERYTHING SACRED, SHAKING DOWN HATRED WITH MY BAND.

COME!

(CHORUS)

(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
SACRED NAMES BE MY SHIELD IN BABYLON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
MIGHTY ON THE FIELD LIKE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
RED, GOLD, AND GREEN MY SEAL IN BABYLON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
MIGHTY ON THE FIELD LIKE CEDARS OF LEBANON.

(VERSE)

MY BEST FRIENDS ARE DEAD PROPHETS WHO ESCAPED BONDAGE,
ALTHOUGH THEIR CONCEPTS REMAIN DEEPER THAN THEIR COFFINS.
OFTEN FORGOTTEN LIKE THE BEGOTTEN ROOT OF DAVID;
THE DEVIL TAKES A DIVINE MIND AND ENSLAVES IT.
CHURCH CAN'T SAVE IT—SERPENT, THEY PRAISE IT.
JESUS WAS A BLACK MAN WHO SPOKE ARAMAIC OF JUDAIC.
DESCENT. ALL TONGUES SHALL TELL WHEN YOUR KNEES ARE BENT;
LAMB'S BLOOD SMEARED ON YOUR TENT, WELL, YOU WORSHIP DOLLARS AND CENTS.
TO HELL WITH DEAD PRESIDENTS IN LITERAL SENSE;
ENOCH'S LITERATURE'S IMMENSE WITH INTRICATE WORKINGS OF CURRENT EVENTS.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING—THE SHEPHERD JUST PLUG HIS MIC IN;
THESE PRIESTS OF MOLOCH ARE FRIGHTENED.
SPACESHIP SIGHTINGS UNITING THE RIGHTEOUS OF INCIENT;
WHEN THE POLES SHIFT, EARTH FLIPS, CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS HEIGHTENED.
WHEN THE POLES SHIFT, EARTH FLIPS, CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS HEIGHTENED.

(CHORUS)

(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
SACRED NAMES BE MY SHIELD IN BABYLON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
MIGHTY ON THE FIELD LIKE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
RED, GOLD, AND GREEN MY SEAL IN BABYLON.
(SAMPLE) THERE'S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM...
MIGHTY ON THE FIELD LIKE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
