In Appall

~Dedicated to some verses by Otep’s Fists Fall Made on a Sunday morning…June 30th…~ We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall Resist the devil, the devil in our minds Sell your soul to the angels behind the blinds If you’re so kind, let’s not be left behind Let’s lose our mind and let’s not be blind! We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall Hushed voices in prayer We are a pretty chaos slayer We are an outlandish obeyer… Not a rebellious disobeyer We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall I am pacifist! Pacifist! We will lift not our fist I am pacifist! Pacifist! If I need to, couldn’t resist! If I should lift them up now, You will understand somehow That I will not be in appall I will not fall away and stand tall I exist with a purpose in heart, purpose in heart Our words are meant to be spoken We are stronger instruments, never torn apart We are meant to be strings unbroken We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall I am pacifist! Pacifist! We will lift not our fist I am pacifist! Pacifist! If I need to, couldn’t resist! If I should lift them up now, You will understand somehow That I will not be in appall I will not fall away and stand tall Let our words be heard Let the cowards inside burn Bravery’s a liberty bird Let the sea in our eyes churn We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall Don’t be horrified Won’t be terrified God is on our side Where He abides, won’t subside Fists in the bloodied air… Now, we are in utter despair Resist the devil without a care Bow down to the angel and play fair We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall I am pacifist! Pacifist! We will lift not our fist I am pacifist! Pacifist! If I need to, couldn’t resist! If I should lift them up now, You will understand somehow That I will not be in appall I will not fall away and stand tall We won’t fall Just stand tall Through it all Give a call Put your fist to the wall With a bounce of a ball We won’t be in appall I am pacifist! Pacifist! We will lift not our fist I am pacifist! Pacifist! If I need to, couldn’t resist! Our flames will be flared up in no time Someday, we will rise from the ashes of our prime We will be happier than ever sometime It’s not a crime to be optimistic this time! Though I’m not afraid to use my temper to injure I’m not in the shade of your twisted little temple of sham, of the dam Shame just came to mind even deeper But, it’s best to heal from the scars of our souls to become God’s lamb
