My Wrath Is My Love

My Wrath Is My Love [Intro] I have prayed with these hands. I poured my heart and soul into these lands I have held my friends close... And I have drawn my blade with them. You see the fire. You never asked what lit the flame. [Verse 1] I have watched the innocent suffer. I have heard the desperate cry. I have seen tyrants build their kingdoms On the backs of those they deny. You call compassion weakness. You call mercy something small. You think because I offer my hand... That I will never make you fall. I have given every warning. I have offered every chance. But you mistook my patience... For a weakness you could take advantage of. You threaten what I cherish. You reach for what I love. Now you will learn the difference... Between grace and giving up. [Pre-Chorus] I carry the light. I carry the flame. I carry the oath That echoes my name. The wings on my back. The faith in my heart. The love that has guided me... From the very start. [Chorus] My wrath is my love. My fire from above. The strength that keeps me standing When the world is not enough. My wrath is my love. My heart becomes the blade. For every soul I cherish... For every life I've saved. You see the anger. You see the flame. But you never saw... The love that made me this way. [Verse 2] I know desire. I know temptation. I know the beauty of creation. I know the laughter after midnight. I know the warmth of friends beside me. I know the taste of freedom. I know the joy of being alive. And that is why your darkness... Will never survive. You call it lust. You call it weakness. You never understood. Desire is not corruption... When it fights for something good. The world is not a thing to conquer. Life is not a thing to own. And anyone who tries to take it... Will find me standing at the throne. [Pre-Chorus] I carry the light. I carry the flame. I carry the love That refuses to break. The sword in my hand. The prayer on my tongue. The promise I made... Before my journey begun. [Chorus] My wrath is my love. My fire from above. The strength that keeps me standing When the world is not enough. My wrath is my love. My heart becomes the blade. For every soul I cherish... For every life I've saved. You see the anger. You see the flame. But you never saw... The love that made me this way. [Bridge] These hands have healed the broken. These hands have held my friends. These hands have raised a shield... When the darkness descended. I am not without mercy. I am not without grace. But love has a boundary... And this is where you meet it. [Breakdown] LOVE WITHOUT STRENGTH IS A PRAYER! WRATH WITHOUT LOVE IS A CURSE! I CARRY BOTH INSIDE ME! AND I KNOW WHICH ONE COMES FIRST! YOU THREATEN MY HOME! YOU THREATEN MY FAITH! YOU THREATEN THE LIVES THAT I SWEAR TO PROTECT! SO FACE THE FIRE! FACE THE LIGHT! FACE THE WRATH... BORN FROM LOVE TONIGHT! [Final Chorus] My wrath is my love. (My) My fire from above. The wings that carry me forward When I have had enough. My wrath is my love. (My) My oath will never fade. I will stand against the darkness... With every breath I take. You saw the warrior. You saw the flame. But now you understand... Why I became this way. [Outro] I do not fight because I hate. I fight because I love I fight because I love!!!!
