  • And to love a god
    And to fear a flame
    And to burn a crowd that has a name
    And to right or wrong
    And to meek or strong
    It is known just scream it from the wall

    I've willed, I've walked, I've read
    I've talked, I know, I know,
    I've been here before, yeah

    Now we won't be raped, hey
    Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
    Now we won't be raped , hey
    Now we won't be scarred like that, hey

    It's the sun that burns
    It's the wheel that turns
    It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
    And to Christ, a cross
    And to me a chair
    I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

    I've willed, I've walked, I've read
    I've talked, I know, I know,
    I've been here before, yeah

    Now we won't be raped, hey
    Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
    Now we won't be raped , hey
    Now we won't be scarred like that
    Scarred like that

    And to love, a god
    And to fear, a flame
    And to burn, a love that has a name

    I've willed, I've walked, I've read
    I've talked, I know, I know
    I've been here before, yeah

    Now we won't be raped, hey
    Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
