War? (Live Version)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dark is the light
The man you fight
With all your prayers, incantations
Running away, a trivial day
Of judgment and deliverance
To whom was sold, this bounty soul
A gentile or a priest?
Who victored over, the Seljuks
When the holy land was taken
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
Was it the riches, of the land
Powers of bright darkness
That lead the noble, to the East
To fight the lord
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
With your AK47s, M16s
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
With your AK47s, M16s
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
Soldiers marching on
Believing there's no God
Disguising narrow mind
Deceiving in the night
We must call upon our bright darkness
We must swim through the river of silence
We must break through the wall of violence
Nothing else will get us down
We must call to our bright darkness
We must swim through the river of silence
We must break through the wall of violence
Nothing else will get us down
We must call upon our bright darkness
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked
One was written on the sword
For you must enter a room to destroy it, destroy it, destroy it
No International security
No Call of the righteous man
Needs a reason to kill a man
History teaches us so
The reason he must attain
Must be approved by his God
His child, partisan brother of war
Of war, we don't speak anymore
Of war, we don't speak anymore
Of war, we don't speak anymore
Of war, we don't speak anymore
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
With your AK47s, M16s
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
With your AK47s, M16s
We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens
