In Hate
    They Justify

Let's love
And let hate and bitterness die
But when we sin
To hate
Gives us a reason why
It lets us justify
Yet, back in the deep woods
The truth lies
A beast we fear
We stay clear
    When the light shines
    We'll see
    We've sinned
    With tears in our eyes
    We will not be able to justify
Someday
The sun will come
The light will shine
They will find
I was not such a bad guy
    With hands held out
    I say
    Lets love
    And let hate and bitterness die
But I bet my hand's slapped
They say I've sinned
I'm not perfect
But it is they
Not I
Who have sinned
And in hate and bitterness
They justify
