Your Enemies

Let me move the darkness from their eyes Tease to unfold the scaffold of their lies Ignite the strings of fear and stain That bind their minds to guided hate Let them see what I see Your life as an open wound Let them hear the sound of shattered glass Stumble through to the profound Let them look into their own eyes Give them back their soul and mind I will cradle them in their grief As they cry in my arms at your feet
