What is this that You ask of me Are You trying to seal my fate Asking me to preach to all of my oppressors Of whom I have nothing but disdain They have tortured and killed all of our people Our prayers didn't receive a second glance But yet You offer them mercy and Your salvation What makes them deserving of a second chance They will just ignore Your warnings They will refuse to repent and repent and turn So why bother sending me to them They should be judged and left to - and left to burn They all should be judged and left to burn They should be judged and left to burn They should be judged and left to burn They should be judged and left to burn This is a suicide mission This is a suicide mission This is a suicide mission I refuse to accept this task You've put upon me I do not care what You have to say As I make my escape to Tarshish by boat What can You do if I would run away from Your will I have other plans than what You have for me And I will remain defiant until the very end I won't go to Nineveh for you You can find another man to send I won't go to Nineveh for you You can find another man to send instead
