Holy War Songtext
von Abney Park

Death hue falling on the faces of the streets lost children as the mortar fire broken in
Nights cold, slipping through the cracks
Breaking through the walls of crumbling plaster
Hunger gnaws, I can feel its claws but the pain of a bullet would burn much hotter in the spot light, mounted on the cannon of the tank that prowls

Holy war, oh deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see


Nameless, but I know the faces of the kids I slept in Jezebel′s lair with
Thoughtless breaking my bread tween the mine fields flowers and gullies with daises
Some times I can find some rations that a solider let fall when the wind or life left him
Some times I can find a gun or a pistol or a knife to use

Holy war, oh deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see
My eyes are blind, my body's lame, my family′s gone, in my god's name, holy wars

Nameless, faceless, but a tear or a dollar won't buy my justice
Fearless, clothed less then a war torn child should sleep or focus
Once I watched as a cannon shot fell through the stained glass window of a church on my street
Once I sat on a steeple now laying in the church yard′s playground

Holy war, oh deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see
My eyes are blind, my body′s lame, my family's gone, in my god′s name, holy wars
