To be saved and to be lost

In the same breath

And to teach obedience still

No flesh so perfect

To ever find rest
Em C G
Behind your temper's will
Em
There's always some fear in love
C D
There's always an ax above
Em C D
No need to shoo flies
Em
Nothing but mockery
C D
Is what you inflamed in me
Em C D
No need for further lies
[Chorus]
G D
Have you learned to walk only to run?
C
How is a man to remain silent
In face of this
Em
Prudent in face of this?
G D
Have you learned to touch only to hurt?
C
How is a man to remain silent
In face of this
Em
Prudent in face of this?

There's always an ax above

Spit on each new idol

Don't you follow me

Burn down each new altar
