Revenge Reprise

If "Loose Cannon" is a statement of where I am now in my realization of my need for community and the support of others, then "Revenge Reprise" is the antithesis. I began writing this song about 6 years ago when my disdain for church and Christians was at it's peak. I felt that I had been burned by Church and by extension, God. There is an obvious amount of spite for those who call themselves Christians in the lyrics. It was a time when I felt that I was encouraged to be a part of Church for musical purposes, but I felt that I couldn't reconcile how Christians acted towards others. There's no resolution to my questions within the song. It is what it is. Here are the lyrics:

Revenge reprise
They will pay with their lives
Revenge reprise
Take your shot then hide your eyes
When you die
You can blame it on the lies
Or pretend you didn’t know what you were in for.

Sidestep all your decisions
The fact is that you caused this division, whoa.
Convincing me that you’re just a martyr
Please don’t take this joke any farther
You kill me

You said you guys
Should hang around and fraternize
You winked you’re eyes
And traded truth in for the lies
You live and you’ll die
By your empty battle cries
Or you just might realize what you are in for

Sidestep all your decisions
The fact is that you caused this division, whoa.
Convincing me that you’re just a martyr
Please don’t take this joke any farther
You kill me
The light that you emit seems to blind you
at least the high and mighty can find you

God almighty why’d you do that to me
God have mercy don’t you keep it from me
All your people have no rights as far as I’m concerned
I hope eventually they all get burned
