Tell me are those coins in your hand Worth the price of the life of a man? Life of a man Lord, Lord On this hill with my hands full of nails Looks like I’ve lost and that everything failed Even my friends turn their backs on me Others I trusted pretend they don’t see Do you think those coins that you hold Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold? Tell me Do you think these coins that you hold Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold? Tell me I can’t stand hearing the cries Of innocence as it slowly dies Truth is covered by thick layers of lies You cannot believe your eyes They say that one day we’ll be free But that day seems like eternity How long do we have to wait For me it’s already too late In the street girls sell their body and soul Boys with smart weapons have taken control There’s a church with a bright golden steeple So much wealth wasted so many poor people Those coins that you grip in your hand Will slip through your fingers like sand Those coins that you grip in your hand Justice is blind up here were I am I am still dying to find one good man Who’ll take a stand and tell what is true Turn the other cheek just to make it on through Those coins that you’d so planned to save Will curse you unto your grave Will curse you unto your grave I watch this world from the top of this hill And I wonder if it’s really Gods will To see the prophesies slowly fulfilled How much more blood will be spilt Is there nothing more left but to grieve How can you learn to believe When you eat and drink the bread and wine Do you remember that blood is mine?
