Lyrics
Mine is the true word
Yours is a borrowed lie
My prophet
My prophet
MINE
We split the same book
Down the middle of the page
You took the half that armed you
I took the half that made me right
We sharpened every difference
Till the difference was the faith
Two men at the same altar
Calling each other the night
And while we screamed across the table
While we counted who was wrong
SOMETHING MOVED BEHIND US BOTH
AND IT HAD BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
WE WRESTLE NOT
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD
(NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD)
THE ENEMY WAS NEVER IN THE ROOM
HE WAS IN THE ARGUMENT
LOOK UP
LOOK UP
YOU'RE FIGHTING THE WRONG WAR
He doesn't come with horns
He doesn't come with fire
He comes dressed as the light
And he lets us do the rest
He never storms the temple
He doesn't have to try
HE JUST KEEPS US BUSY
WHILE THE HOUSE BURNS FROM INSIDE
Every hand I raised against my brother
Was a hand that never reached the throat that's holding us
AND HE COUNTED EVERY ONE
WE WRESTLE NOT
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD
(NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD)
AGAINST THE POWERS
AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARK
LOOK UP
LOOK UP
YOU'RE FIGHTING THE WRONG WAR
A man with a drawn sword
Standing in the field before the battle
And we asked him
ARE YOU FOR US
OR FOR OUR ENEMIES?
Neither.
I AM THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOST!
WHO.
ARE.
YOU.
FIGHTING?
NOT THE MAN ACROSS THE TABLE
NOT THE MAN WHO SAYS IT WRONG!
THE TABLE WAS NEVER THE BATTLEFIELD—
IT WAS THE DISTRACTION!
We bit
And we devoured each other
And we called it holy ground
And the only thing that won
Was the thing that watched us
FROM ABOVE
We were not told to swing
We were not told to win
We were told to STAND
STAND
STAND
STAND
STAND
TAKE UP EVERYTHING THAT SHIELDS YOU
LAY DOWN EVERYTHING THAT CUTS
THE WAR WAS NEVER YOURS TO START—
ONLY YOURS TO SURVIVE!
Not against flesh
Not against blood
We were looking the wrong way the whole time.
