Lyrics
THEY SAY THERE'S AN ARROW
They say there's an arrow
That seeks out the heart
Of a man who profanes in the West-
We've been silent so long,
But now, in guise of a song,
This man puts all of our patience to test...
And, if Tolerance is the name of the game,
Then, the end of your game is in sight;
What should be no surprise is:
If you make compromises,
You writers might as well tempt Righteous Might...
For, the truth is, when some
Of the answers before,
Were not answers you wanted to hear,
You've pulled out your Bible
You have screamed blood and libel!
(They've been silenced before, out of fear...)
Well, we do it too,
In the name of what's true,
Silence dissent and the voice that sings of it-
You've gained from our war,
But now there's losses in store:
There's mud we too can sling on your prophets
And blood on your profits...
And, if Tolerance is the name of the game,
Then, the end of your game is in sight;
What should be no surprise is:
If you make compromises,
You writers might as well tempt Righteous Might...
They say there's a narrow and dangerous path
That is tread by a man in the West...
