I know these verses are long but think of a backbeat like Don Henley's 'Dirty Laundry' and it will work.....It's definite rock...
Some coverts call it courage
but it's just the devil's role
from Babylon where sly deals
fight freedom's worthy goals.
The innocent all suffer
when terror strikes our shores
right under the protection
of the laws we enforce.
Within our liberal kindness
murdered while they're young
we lose our future legends
at the hands of evil scum.
We can bear strong children
in the land of the free...
how they gonna die next time??

Chorus
Now the time is up
don't need no religion
to grind evil into dust
There's children on our streets
there's freedom in our trust
there's an eye for an eye
to grind evil into dust.

By fortified pennance
our rules can be undone
we all hear false witness
while we're justice hung.
We see how wicked works
behind our words of truth
look out! who's that migrant!
standing next to you?
Beneath the weakened farce
where social songs drum
where's the resurrection
bringing back our sons?
We can bear strong children
in the land of the free
how they gonna die next time??

Chorus
Now the time is up
don't need no religion
to grind evil into dust
There's children on our streets
there's freedom in our trust
there's an eye for an eye
to grind evil into dust

A thoughtful write which is also well-written and flows smoothly. Great chorus.
