Cutting Words - Lyrics - Jacob's Dream

Jacob's Dream is an American Christian power metal band originally based in Columbus, Ohio, that formed in the mid-1990s under the name of Iron Angel. Their first three full-length releases were released on the Metal Blade Records label.

The silence here is deafening Pouring fuel on an open flame Something's going to break if we can't learn to bend New wounds atop of old We never seem to mend The face of fear has come to me Whispering threats and jealousy What is and what could be we may never see Tomorrow hides and holds our destinies [Chorus:] You're killing me I'm killing you Will vengeance pay the debt we're due? With cutting words I run you through Stoke the coals till we're consumed Each morning brings a chance to change and be renewed We've got to stop the bleeding of souls torn in two 'Neath the sea of memory all is laid to rest The sword that once divided sleeps beneath the depths The winds of war may rise but will not resurrect The weapons of our hatred The poison of our lips [Repeat Chorus] Hatred is our enemy We must learn to let it go Forgiveness will free the soul We must leave the past behind
