No Exit Door
“Love thy neighbour like thyself.”
“Forgive thy enemies.”
Saith the Lord Himself
Why, then, the armies?
Twenty-one centuries and more
No Exit door
Twenty-one armies and more
No Exit door
No Exit to the Kingdom
The Kingdom of Freedom
Hear what the Verb saith
It saith: "Why do you doubt, oh you men of little faith?"
Have no fears. the Lord is near. Hold your tears
Pray for those who prosecute thee
And The Word will make you free
Yet, twenty-and-one centuries later
We persist in challenging the Creator
Why does it take us too much labour
To love our neighbour?
Twenty-one centuries and more
No Exit door
Twenty-one armies and more
And we can't forgive our enemies
Yes, it's tough to learn a lesson or two
It's hard to love, but it's harder to hate
We must mull over that, too
It might not be too late to reverse our fate
Yet we say it's not our call
It's not our call to break the wall
The wall that confines our minds to "I" and "mine."
That's the cause of our pains
"I" and "mine" keep us always in the mood
In the mood for war
Forward, but there is nothing ahead, no more
No Exit door
Only the wall that holds us in black or white
And never allows us to know
When it's dark or when it's bright
When we're wrong or when we're right.
