They shoot in the dark at the upright in heart
Aiming their arrows and poisonous darts
They hunt like a lion to tear them apart
And feed the desires of their poisonous hearts, it's true
Why do the wicked prosper?
Why do the bad guys get away with it?
We're crying out "How much longer?
When is a just God gonna deal with it?"
It's been so long since I felt
The heat from the glow of the sunshine
On the creases of my face
It's a cold light that surrounds me, so I try and hide
In the shadows, in fear
And I ache for the sweet release of the grave
They shoot in the dark at the upright in heart
Aiming their arrows and poisonous darts
They hunt like a lion to tear them apart
And feed the desires of their poisonous hearts, it's true
Why do the wicked prosper?
Why do the bad guys get away with it?
We're crying out "How much longer?
When is a just God gonna deal with it?"
They scoff and sneer and threaten
Their words fuelled by oppression
Their mouths set against heaven
Their tongues against the earth
They bark and they bite and they darken the night
As they prey on the souls of the blameless
And justice sleeps
They shoot in the dark at the upright in heart
Aiming their arrows and poisonous darts
They hunt like a lion to tear them apart
And feed the desires of their poisonous hearts, it's true
Why do the wicked prosper?
Why do the bad guys get away with it?
We're crying out "How much longer?
When is a just God gonna deal with it?"
But their bows shall be broken
And their deeds shall brought into light
And the truth shall be spoken
In the end, they'll have nowhere to hide
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
I know a just God's gonna deal with it
