vimeo.com/17010556

From 2 sam 13. the rape of absalom's sister.

lyrics

you've taken my sister desecrating our name.
you've taken my sister for you own selfish gain.

she fought. and told you to stop, my God she tried.
you were a coward but strong, and my God did she cried.

----------

I call down hatred. from my heart on your head,
and righteously/gladly take your blood on my hands.

my heart. finds it hard to regret.
the death of an unrighteous man.

----------

though this hatred may be justified
in my in my eyes.
though my hands are clean and i'll be fine
in my in my eyes.

God make a righteous man out of me
