The Amer ican way.
I pray to God,
This lie will have nothing to do with me.
Amer ican way.
The lie of the century.
Told by the great deceiv er.
Laid down as a law of the land.
To question is the greatest of sins.
So we raise up our flags.
Call ourselves the chosen sons of God.
Add another link in the chain.
Get in line. Assimilate.
It's your call to be true to red,
white and blue.
But is there something truly wrong
when we drape the flag over the Cross?
You say freedom is n't free,
But who the Son sets free
is free indeed.
We're freed by His name,
Not by homeland se curity.
I will never be ashamed of My
Redeemer's mighty name
And I will never run and hide...
Hide under the flag of violent pride.
I step out of line.
I step out of line.
And so I step out of line.
Raise the flag.
Raise the flag up high.
Raise the flag.
Raise the flag.
I walk against violent pride
with these violent strides.
In defiance of pride ful men.
I stand against blind allegiance
to a na tion that kills its children.
To a nation that profits in death.
To a nation that reaps what it sows.
Blood, sweat and tears.
Reap the
flag.
Reap the flag.
Blood. Sweat. Death.
Blood. Sweat. Death.
We will reap blood, sweat, death.
Blood. Sweat. Death.
Blood. Sweat. Death.
Blood. Sweat. Death.
We will reap blood, and sweat, and death.
We will reap blood, sweat, death.
