lyrics

said God is my hope
and God is my strength
a very present help in trouble
we will not fear
though the earth may shake
and the mountains reduce to rubble

i could have told you you was on the wrong track
i could have told you about the knife your back
i could have told you about the people you see
all of those friends were just your enemies
honey i've never seen you look like that before
you all messed up no where to go

got the venom of asps
right under your lips
and a curse on everyone's head
you got the death rattle twitch
and a rattlesnake's bite
spit a secret right off the tip of your tongue

said love is my reason
and love is my strength
a very present help in trouble
so take the true and the real
and the false and the fake
and the mountains reduce to rubble
