This is a call to arms, Will you stand beside me? This is our time to fight, No more compromising And this blackened heart will sing For sad solidarity Halo, over our demise Following a God so blind Shallow, in their sickening Swallow not, the shit they feed This is a right to life, Not the Religious Rights act This is abortions knife, Aiming at the womb of The Christian conspiracy So open thine eyes and see, the Halo, over our demise Following a God so blind Shallow, in their sickening Swallow not, the shit they feed Our time will come, our time will come Our time is now, our time is now And I won't pray for you And I won't pray for you And I won't pray for you Halo Follow Shallow Swallow Halo, over our demise Following a God so blind Shallow, in their sickening Swallow not, the shit they feed Your words will never hold us down Prayers won't be spared on you Satisfaction denied Til you're dead and gone Gone Dead and gone! You're gone!
