Angel of Vengeance
I remember when I was small
to my school policemen came to call
They told us about their weaponry
and we thought it was cool, when they flashed their batons
Now I'm older and I've seen more
I could tell the right from wrong
And those batons, I've got to say
They shouldn't be used in this way
I tell the priest all I have seen
He tells me, "Kneel before Him, come clean."
I ask him why, what is my sin
He tells me, "Be quiet; non-violence by all means."
I turn the page and seek the Lord
I ask for guidance, from His word
Acts and Daniel, Ephesians and more
Conviction distilled, I am now sure
That keeping quiet is not the way
Equipped and armed, demons I'll slay
Don't judge, don't cry and do not fear
For I am with you, and freedom is near.
