Pull the sword from the sheath
Place the wreath beneath the tree of life
Honor in the dust the final [bad word] In which the [bad word] once thrived
Now dies

Pull the sword from the sheath
Place the wreath beneath the tree of life
Honor in the dust the final [bad word] In which the [bad word] once thrived
Now dies

Honor in the dust the final [bad word] In which the [bad word] once thrived
Now dies

Lift your head in prayer
Only if you dare
You can speak to your God
Hold him in your heart 
Roots in the ground
Winding down around the feet of time
Poverty and pain
The ball and chain tradition claims the right 
Honor in the dust the final [bad word] in which the [bad word] has died 
Lift your head in prayer
Only if you dare
You can speak to your God
Hold him in your heart
