I'd like to take a moment
I won't tell you my name
But I have eyes and I have seen
And felt Gehenna's flame
Yes, I am a sinner
A lost fish and a fool
It's hard to navigate the waters
In this muddy pool
To me it is so obvious
But it might be news to you
It don't matter what color the man
If he's red or if he's blue
If you believe in what he says
Then don't trust your own ears
You're the master of your purse
And he's just selling fear
So slow down
Slow down
You're the master of your purse
And he's just selling fear
We are all just pilgrims
Wandering this earth
So it is and always will be
Until our rebirth
We're all bent and broken
Birds that ain't got wings
To those at the top, well
Those below don't mean a thing
Yes, up the chain of this command
The blind lead the blind
You can change the voice that's leading 'em on
But you cannot change their minds
Oh, and when the blind start swingin'
And they cut you and you bleed
Don't give in to your hatred
Or you ain't never gonna be free
Just slow down
Slow down
Don't give in to your hatred
Or you ain't never gonna be free
Way back in the garden
God was on our side
We ate the fruit and ever since
We've been trying to hide
We didn't want the burden
Of the blame upon our back
So we put it on our rib instead
But the weight caused it to crack
And if there's one thing that I've learned
One thing that I know
Just like all their lowly peasants
Kings, they come and go
So if you see them two roads split
Take the one less trodden on
Forgiveness is a heavy thing
But you'll need it when you're gone
I said, slow down
Slow down
Forgiveness is a heavy thing
But you'll need it when you're gone
I said, forgiveness is a heavy thing
But you'll need it when you're gone
I said, forgiveness is a heavy thing
But you'll need it when you're gone
