And to love a god
And to fear a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name
And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known just scream it from the wall

I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know,
I've been here before, yeah

Now we won't be raped, hey
Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
Now we won't be raped , hey
Now we won't be scarred like that, hey

It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
And to Christ, a cross
And to me a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know,
I've been here before, yeah

Now we won't be raped, hey
Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
Now we won't be raped , hey
Now we won't be scarred like that
Scarred like that

And to love, a god
And to fear, a flame
And to burn, a love that has a name

I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before, yeah

Now we won't be raped, hey
Now we won't be scarred like that, hey
Now we won't be raped , hey
Now we won't be scarred like that
Hey hey na nana

(Hoo hoo) we won't be scarred like that
(Hoo hoo) we won't be scarred like that
(Hoo hoo)

    All I know is I attended a church one time that re-enacted what hell was like I wanted to love a God, but I didn't enjoy fearing the flame of hell.

    I won't be raped like that anymore. I go to church, but I have my own mind. I don't believe everything they tell me about how people will burn.

    Only the sun can burn me. And, the wheel of time heals all wounds in my eyes.

    I don't know if this is what he is talking about in his song, but this is what it means to me.

    In the Christian religion, many are taught we will sit on our chair and have all these treasures for believing while we sit on our chair and watch the sinners burn - -what hipocrites.

    We won't be raped like that - You are taught you will sit on your chair and earn treasures for believing, but some people make it seem like they are above all others and can't wait to watch those beneith them suffer - - how sick.

    There is some verse in the bible that says I will sit up in heaven and claim my treasures or some shit like that. People take it out of text.
