This may not work and I don't guarantee that it will, but...

It's the desire of my heart
It's the anthem of my birth
I'll love you til you cross the line
Then watch my faith turn into works

So here's to hoping we evolve
And here's believing that we will
Blessed are those who seek for peace
But in control are those who kill

An eye for an eye will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see
An I for an I will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see

I was born to go to war
It comes so natural to me
Sure as a hammer finds a nail
Death is the only way to peace

An eye for an eye will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see
An I for an I will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see

I've got a killer instinct bringing out all of my best
I've got a poisoned conscience telling me to go with that
And this may not work and I don't guarantee that it will
But I've got no choice unless you tell me who Jesus would kill

An eye for an eye will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see
An I for an I will never satisfy
til there's nothing left to see

(Derek Webb - Album: The Ringing Bell; Song: "I for an I")
