Doctrine by The Huntress and Holder of Hands

Respect? Protect?
Your doctrine damns us all.

Our heroes kneel; gather for peace
Your doctrine damns us all

Our brothers die; and our daughters bleed
Your doctrine damns us all

To serve? To save?
Your doctrine damns us all

We shroud our children; hide them away
Your doctrine damns us all

You teach them violence as you kneel to pray
and your doctrine damns us all

When your savior casts his brown eyes at you
do you think there'll be pity in his gaze?

When the seas overflow and the oil dries up
will there be anyone to grant the pardon you'll crave?

When the hateful and pale are stripped down and fail
When the lakes turn to fire cause you've drained the mire
When we feel power shift and set you adrift
We will stand on the beach and use your pain to teach
That hate begets hate and you've earned your fate.

Respect? Protect?
Your doctrine damns us all.
