Why does this anger burn inside my heart like a flame devouring my soul, driving my hate (my hate), pushing me into a fiery rage?
I never learned to forgive and forget whenever my sight goes red
Lord, please hear my cry. Take this cup from me

Father, take this cup from me

All I see around is violence. I hate this beast we’ve become
All we dream about is murder, striking down our enemies in cold blood
The demon speaks of murder and strife corrupting our mind
I’m always ready to strike, ready to kill in the blink of an eye
I feel the venom seeping in

I just don’t know what to do with this hate building inside of me
Why do I feel this way every single day? It’s just the same thing over and over
Why do I feel this way every single day? It’s just the same thing over and over again

Come on!
Don’t want to be this anymore. Extinguish the flame
Lord, give me the strength to keep these demons at bay and rid myself of this anger once and for all
I swear I’ll walk away (walk away) for vengeance is not mine
Don’t want to cross this line
It’ll be the hardest fight of my life ‘cause revenge is all I seek
I, I won’t lose this fight

Why does this anger burn inside my heart like a flame devouring my soul, driving my hate (my hate), pushing me into a fiery rage?
I never learned to forgive and forget whenever my sight goes red
Lord, please hear my cry. Take this cup from me
