Derek Webb - I For An I lyrics

rate me

It's the desire of my heart

It's the anthem of my birth

I love you till you cross the line

Then watch my faith turn into works

Here's to hoping we evolve

Here's believing that we will

Blessed are those who seek for peace

In control are those who kill

An I for an I

Will never satisfy till there's nothing left to see

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

I've got a killer instinct bringing out all of my best

I've got a poison conscience telling me to go with that

This may not work and I don't guarantee that it will

But I've got no choice unless you tell me who Jesus would

Kill
