Am I the Oppressor

Am I the oppressor
As I returned to the place of my bondage;
As I ignored the faith of the fate in my homage;

Am I the Oppressor;

I considered all oppressions;
That is under the sun;
As I cast my reflection have my own;

Thoughts and ideas;
Is this for real...

Am I the Oppressor;

and one constrains better;
did you open the letter;
it says....

I am yes Am I
yes I am, I am the Oppressor;

Who knows the spirit of man that goes up;
As a slave set free;
Long eternal life in liberty I long...

Am I the Oppressor;

I have not any comforter;
I'm on the side of the oppressors;
Guilt ridden mammal whose done wrong;
Stop the pressure, bless me now I'm no longer the oppressor

Am I the oppressor, No, now I am

The Intercessor
