The Spirit Said "No" |
| I feel that I must fight, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| This time I am right, I cried |
| But the Spirit said, no |
| Righteous anger turned my head |
| All my thoughts were burning red |
| To see my enemy lie dead, |
| But the spirit said, no |
| But the spirit said, no |
| The need to fight is strong, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| My enemy is wrong, I cried |
| But the Spirit said, No |
| My faithless enemy broke trust |
| I’d see him trampled in the dust |
| For God knows that my cause is just |
| But the Spirit said, no |
| The Spirit said, no |
| Anger flowed like burning liquor |
| Through my blood and my brain |
| Hatred for my enemy |
| The need to cause him pain |
| Was my obsession now |
| My craving, now |
| God damn my enemy |
| Why, look at him standing there |
| Why, can’t you see |
| How he hates me |
| I want to see him dead, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| You heard the things he said, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| There is no kinder soul than I |
| But he’s a beast, and that is why |
| I’d see him dead — I’d see him die |
| But the spirit said, no |
| The Spirit said, no |
| Anger flowed like burning liquor |
| Through my blood and my brain |
| Hatred for my enemy |
| The need to cause him pain |
| Was my obsession now |
| My craving, now |
| God damn my enemy |
| Why, look at him standing there |
| Why, can’t you see |
| How he hates me |
| I want to see him dead, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| You heard the things he said, I cried |
| But the spirit said, no |
| There is no kinder soul than I |
| But he’s a beast, and that is why |
| I’d see him dead — I’d see him die |
| But the spirit said, no |
| The spirit said no |
| I want to walk the peace walk |
| I want to talk the peace talk |
| I want to find the freedom |
| In my heart |
| I want to walk the peace walk |
| I want to talk the peace talk |
| I want to find the freedom |
| In my heart |
