lyrics

I will not be your victim
but these chains you've place on me
cannot be shed by the hands of man
only by the blood shed on the tree (x2)

You can't control our behavior
or isolate us again
Who I am is not defined by who you say I am
The blame for what you've done
it will not fall on me
But someones got to carry this weight
cause it's robbing all of my peace

Hate in response to hate begets hate
Love puts an end to the death hate makes (x2)

I will not be your victim
but these chains you've place on me
cannot be shed by the hands of man
only by the blood shed on the tree (x2)

This fight was never a fair one
and unsought it was lost
but we're no longer the victims
we're survivors of that cost
We may not lose the memory
but the damage that was wrought
Can be redeemed from hatred
to the right grief of that loss

Hate in response to hate begets hate
Love puts an end to the death hate makes (x2)

It's not your fault, It's not your fault
It was never your fault
It's not your fault, It's not your fault
It was never your fault

I will not be your victim
but these chains you've place on me
cannot be shed by the hands of man
only by the blood shed on the tree (x2)
