I will not lie even for God

God spoke to me
God said this is what happened
God said this is what I must say
I cannot say it

Everything is on the line
If only it was just my life
But it is the whole of humanity
I cannot say it

I will gladly lose my life over this
I believe in human rights
In fairness and justice
I cannot say it

I cannot be sure we acted properly
I cannot be sure we acted within the law
I don�t believe in protecting ourselves
I don�t believe in protecting even myself

I said as much to God
It nearly destroyed me
I�ll be killed for sure
But I won�t have that on my conscience

I don�t believe in easy excuses
To justify getting rid of anything or anyone
I don�t believe in nightmare people
Not deserving any justice whatsoever

I cannot say anyone knew anything about anything
I cannot say we did not shun everything
That makes me a worst offender anyone could ever be
As I am selling us all out to hell

I am fully aware of the gravity of the situation
But this is the first time I am ever confronted
With such an ethical dilemma
And I cannot back down

I cannot lie for God
I will not lie for God
If I must I will denounce God
As I cannot lie

I will not lie even for God
