Song Lyrics


Let Conviction Grow
by American Arson

Album: A Line In The Sand


The TV screen flickers with images of cleft palates and distended bellies
Everything in black and white, everything in slow motion
And a young girl tugging at the threads of my conscience
And tomorrow she'll be killed in a drone strike paid for by my tax dollars
Or added to the menu at a seedy motel frequented by American businessmen
To be used and discarded

Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
It's been coming through the windows at night
And I know you're out there all alone
Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
I've been having trouble sleeping at night
'Cause I know you won't be going home

Oh, we've been sinking slow into apathy
It's a product of prosperity we've been sinking slow
Oh, I can feel the dawn of a reckoning
We will have to answer for everything, everything we've done

Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
It's been coming through the windows at night
And I know you're out there all alone
Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
I've been having trouble sleeping at night
'Cause I know you won't be going home

Let conviction grow
Let compassion show
Chariot swing low
Oh God, let your mercy flow
Flow

Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
It's been coming through the windows at night
And I know you're out there all alone
Oh, I can feel the cold wind blow
I've been having trouble sleeping at night
'Cause I know you won't be going home
'Cause I know you won't be going home

Let conviction grow
Let compassion show
Chariot swing low
