"There's No Redemption"
Honestly I try to sleep
But the images refuse to die
A desolate song, wrought of pain
By the innocent ones who never got to say goodbye
There's no redemption on a burning cross
Left on the fence, beaten and abused
No respect for the lives we've cost
There's no redemption on a burning cross
There she sits, broken and bruised
No victory for the wrongly accused
There they stand, each child follows suit
These southern trees still bear strange fruit
There's no redemption on a burning cross
Left on the fence, beaten and abused

A young man lies breathing his last breath

There's a vision right before our eyes
Innocent victims of a frightened man's pride
Given no quarter and nobody knows
How many souls really hang on the gallow's pole
There's no redemption on a burning cross
Left on the fence, beaten and abused
No respect for the lives we've cost
There's no redemption on a burning cross

I hate the way you make me feel,
I hate the way you run around
I hate the way you bash my name all around town.
I hate that
BECOMING:
I’m not like you
I don’t trample
Over other people’s feelings
I don’t use them
I don’t
Mist of Hate
See the prejudice one walk beside you,
Seeing right through you,
Righteous in his own mind,
Suffering layers of
