Love Or Death
I knew he would not leave us by his choice
God had struck us with a mighty sword
No longer would I hear my father’s voice
Neither would I listen to the Lord
Why God so strong should hurt those who were left
Who prayed to him with love in depths of heart
I went inside a church in angry grief
I called, I hate you, God, so we must part
Later on another grief much worse
Laid me out for death without rebirth
But here came someone kind to raise this curse
Despite my hatred, I was of some worth
In pain we stagger to a place unknown
Then wait for love or death to heal our bones
