when you were disappeared, a part of me went too

the consequence of my silence was mostly felt by you

revealed to poor and simple, hidden from those so high above

the only violence that can set us straight, the violence of love



(chorus)

no ambition for power

therein lies our freedom

no man is named our enemy

therein lies our freedom

the violence of Christ is our victory



somewhere in the tortures

God takes the victims place

one all will be told the names, the times, the place

i've lost my taste for vengence, though it surely comes for some

i hope now in conversion and the kingdom that will come



(chorus)



selfishness falls to the violence of love

vengence falls to the violence of love

hatred falls to the violence of love

every knee will fall before the violence of love
