Array ( [sid] => 114377 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What If [time] => 2006-02-06 17:44:30 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I can't find the rhyme for all my reason,
Lost track of all time and all seasons,
I feel like I've been beaten down,
By the words of men who have no ground.

I can't sleep under the tree of wisdom,
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them,
Forked tongues and bitter mouths,
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out.

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine,
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind,
Human pride sings a vengeful song,
Inspired by the time you've been walked on.

My stage is shared by many millions,
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this,
We are one,
We are strong,
The more you hold us down,
The more we press on.

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I know I can't hold the hate,
Inside my mind,
'Cause what consumes your thoughts,
Controls your life,
So i'll ask one question,
What if?

What if your words,
Could be judged like a crime?

why did you steal creeds song ... just wondering ... i found these off of lyrics.com and i listen to creed its not good to steal people's things, I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
