The Lyrics
I watched the guilty walk away untouched again tonight
And everything inside me wanted vengeance, wanted a fight
But hate's a cup of poison that I pour and drink alone
I'm the one it's killin' while they're restin' like a stone
'Cause the war was never people, it was never flesh and bone
It's an evil pullin' strings on hearts that don't know they're not their own
So I take my hands off the scales, I lay the sword back down
Let the only righteous Judge put on the robe and crown
You see the whole design, all the parts I never could
So I'll trust You with the verdict, You are just, and You are good
I won't become the evil just to make the evil pay
I'll trust You to have the final say
They're not my enemy, they're hostages the darkness took
Actors in a story that they didn't write and never understood
So I'll fight the war I'm in on my knees and not with my fists
And aim my hate at what's behind them, not the ones held in its grip
So I take my hands off the scales, I lay the sword back down
Let the only righteous Judge put on the robe and crown
You see the whole design, all the parts I never could
So I'll trust You with the verdict, You are just, and You are good
I won't become the evil just to make the evil pay
I'll trust You to have the final say
I've read the book, I know the end
Every wrong will face its reckoning, every knee will finally bend
So let 'em think they're winnin' it's a kingdom made of sand
Cause the story's already written, and it ends the way He planned
He's not asleep and He's not blind
He's just not finished, yet
And in the end, God wins
