I For An I Songtext
von Derek Webb

It′s the desire of my heart
It's the anthem of my birth
I love you ′til you cross the line
Then watch my faith turn into words
So here's to hoping we evolve
And here's believing that we will
Blessed are those who seek for peace
But in control are those who kill

An eye for an eye will never satisfy
′Til there′s nothing left to see
An eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see


Well, I was born to go to war
It comes so natural to me
Sure as a hammer finds a nail
Death is the only way to peace

An eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see
An eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see

I've got a killer instinct bringing out all of my best
I've got a poisoned conscience telling me to go with that
And this may not work, and I don′t guarantee that it will
Oh, but I′ve got no choice unless you tell me who Jesus would kill

So, an eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see
An eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see
Oh, an eye for an eye will never satisfy
'Til there′s nothing left to see
