(God and War)
FEAR OF REPRISAL

Then you will not hear
Thus all the things you seek
You will seek with fear

For how can truth be known
If truth is never told
And wisdom never shown
For fear of being bold

Wars are fought for this
That love lives in our souls
And death provides the bliss
That burns in glowing coals

For freedom of the tongue
Was a gift to man by God
And he who thinks it wrong
Will ever weary plod

Through valleys of regret
Overshadowed by the hills
Where those he's never met
Devour his honest skills
