Laurence Overmire - Black and White lyrics

I am a black man Though my skin is white I have crossed the Jordan And seen the fires Burning In the hearts of innocent men The lies have been told too many times But truth can't be hidden from the eyes of God Stand back The screams of the deaf have shattered the stars Visions of the blind, blotted the sun And mad men rage at the tightening noose Justice hanged With a civilized cord. Take my black heart Nail it to your righteous cross Sing your pious anthems From your bright cathedrals gold Flags flying, trumpets blasting Will the noise drown out the shame The hatred masked in a wooden horse Or will you hear The incessant rankle Of thirty pieces Silver.
