Like One of Them

This may be the only song ever written based on the book of Obadiah. It's about the cycle of hatred we encounter in this world. Only Christ ended it. Only in Christ can we find its ending.



verse 1
We stand so still
Stare the storm of one who hurts
Our iron will
of hatred keeps us there
not long until
our deeds will return
and we’ll be killed
will we ever learn?

chorus
we’re like one of them
when we cease to lend a hand
and stand observing pain
gaining pleasure in the terror
that’s fair we tell our hearts
which have started growing cold
as we fold our hands in hate
Our late brothers in that day

verse 2
We think it’s right
That they should face this time
Of prolonged night
After all they did to us
In broad day light
They cut through us so deeply
In the fight
Will we have time to see?

repeat chorus

verse 3
Hate runs our land
Makes blood flow fast while
Deadening our hands
Brings hurt and pain but we
Don’t understand
How to end this sick sick
Cycle it demands
Will we keep on this way?
