The iron hand it ain't no match

To a mighty God

For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow

That it passes through

That no one knew

How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice?

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground

Take off your mask

Even before you ask

How long can you falsify and deny what is real?

Of every earthly plan that be known to man
