between the cross and the bullet

the man with the gun is telling me to pray
to open my heart or I'll never be saved
my soul is broken, beyond all repair
why wasn't I told or even made aware?
to juxtapose a gun with a cross,
nowadays you see that allot.
indifference to life of servitude
be free and good in all that you do!

make a choice.
what will it be?
stand by faith or a 45!
reconsider,
then re-evaluate!
a slave or a fiend...?

bullets can kill, but man can kill too
evil will live whatever you do
shore up the good life we all want to lead.
between the cross and the bullet lie you and me!!

the child with the gun, telling me to surrender.
he's got his orders to leave no survivors.
cleanse the good from the bad, pure from the filth
avenging those that fell in life's labyrinth!
the child was tainted with words of hate
but love lies deep, free of man's taint
he no longer sees good, just pain and loss
stuck in the middle of a barrel and cross!!

what does it mean?
what do you believe?
stories or the sound of a 45!
please!
choose wisely!
a man or ghost...!!

bullets can kill, but man can kill too
evil will live whatever you do
shore up the good life we all want to lead.
between the cross and the bullet lie you and me!!

the fabric of our peace is wounded and bleeding
we live amongst those who know nothing but suffering
a vacuum separates the corrupt from the killers
those who stunt life and the hopeless forgivers
we must find common ground between the cross and the bullet
to forget the rage and hate that stems from the pulpit!!!

bullets can kill, but man can kill too
evil will live whatever you do
shore up the good life we all want to lead.
between the cross and the bullet lie you and me!!

woah man, just woah.
There is some really good stuff written inside this post!

I agree with what Kerri said. I love this set of lyrics. Worth spending the time to ponder it's verses for a bit. Good job.
