Intro

Verse 1

How miserable I am

 I feel like a fruit-picker who arrives after the harvest

 There's nothing here at all

 Nothing at all here that could placate my hunger

 The godly people are all gone

 There's not one honest soul left here on the planet

 We're all murderers and thieves

 Setting traps here for even our brothers

Chorus 1

 And both of our hands

 Are equally skilled

At doing evil

 Equally skilled

 At bribing the judges

 Equally skilled

At perverting justice

 Both of our hands

 Both of our hands

Verse 2

 The day of justice comes

 And is even now swiftly arriving

 Don't trust anyone at all

 Not your best friend or even your wife

 For the son hates the father

 The daughter despises even her mother

 Look Your enemies are right

 Right in the room of your very household

Chorus 1

Interlude

Same as Intro

Bridge

 No, don't gloat over me

For though I fall, though I fall

 I will rise again

 Though I sit here in darkness

The Lord, the Lord alone

 He will be my light

 I will be patient as the Lord

 Punishes me for the wrongs I've done against Him

 After that He'll take my case

Bringing me to light and to justice

 For all I have suffered

Chorus 2

 And both of His hands

 Are equally skilled

At ruining evil

 Equally skilled

At judging the judges

 Equally skilled

Administering justice

 Both of His hands

 Both of His hands

Chorus 3

 Are equally skilled

At showing me mercy

 Equally skilled

At loving the loveless

 Equally skilled

Administering justice

 Both of His hands

 Both of His hands
