Shamen

The Shamen ( SHAY-men) were a Scottish psychedelic band, formed in 1985 in Aberdeen, who became a chart-topping British electronic dance music act by the early 1990s. The founding members were Colin Angus, Derek McKenzie and Keith McKenzie. Peter Stephenson joined shortly after to take over on keyboards from Angus. Several other people were later in the band. Angus then teamed up with Will Sinnott, and together they found credibility as pioneers of rock/dance crossover. When rapper Mr. C joined, the band moved on to international commercial success with "Ebeneezer Goode" and their 1992 Boss Drum album. more »

Oh lord our God
Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells
Help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of the dead
Help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of the wounded
Writhing in pain

A prayer for war, a prayer for war
A prayer for war, a prayer for war

Oh lord our God
Help us to waste their humble homes in a hurricane of fire
Help us to wring the unoffending hearts of their widows with grief
Help us to turn them out with their children to wander the waste
Of their desolated land

A prayer for war, a prayer for war
A prayer for war, a prayer for war

We beseech thee o worthy lord
Blast their hopes and black the lines on their bitter pilgrimage
Make heavy their steps and water their way with tears my Lord
Stain the white snow with the blood of the woundeds' feet my Lord
And we ask it in the spirit of war
