Dust settles as we crawl from our hovels The liberator's met with resistance last night And the bodies must be dug from the piles of brokenness How do you cope with never ending nothingness? Mother, Brother, Sister, all wrapped up in linen Laid to rest in the dump at the edge of town All so the Empire of "god" can keep up its image "Their deeds are evil and violence is in their heart" Daddy shipped out today I'm left behind to take care of the family He's gonna save their souls Their filthy heathen souls One day when I grow up I'm gonna be just like him Fighting for democracy Giving hope to downtrodden You're standing tall Not for very long You sold your soul The devil has come It's not like you weren't warned You sold your soul And now the devil has come Cling to your mask of Christianity All deception is ripped away Murderers, thieves Blinded, blinded by greed "Be you gone from me" Blessed are the poor in spirit (The Lord is angry with all nations) Blessed are those who mourn (His wrath is on all their armies) Blessed are the meek Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (He will totally destroy them) Blessed are the merciful (Their slain will be thrown out) Blessed are the pure in heart (Their dead bodies will throw up a stench) Blessed are the peacemakers (The mountains will be soaked with their blood) Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness Murder without recourse Drop bombs indiscriminately Children cry out, covered in blood You wash your hands but it doesn't come off I sow your fields with salt I drink from your hollowed skull I know exactly what you are And so will everyone else I am your plague I am your plague I am come for you Now all will see You're standing tall Not for very long You sold your soul The devil has come It's not like you weren't warned You sold your soul And now the devil has come Turn on your own Rip yourself to shreds Destroyer of nations This is your end
