Holy War

Lyrics

I've spent twenty years learning to live
 In a world that takes back all that it gives
 But I do not want a war
 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
 Defending my holy land
 As if there's a god who would understand
 Feeding the promised land
 With your blood by my own hand
 At Allah's own command
 At Allah's own command
 I've spent twenty years learning to live
 In a world that takes back all that it gives
 But I do not want a war
 I don't know what's going on
 In the scenes behind
 I worry about it some of the time
 And I hope there's not a war
 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
 Defending my holy land
 As if there's a god who would understand
 And I would walk across highways
 To find my fate
 If that might settle your crude debate
 But I do not want a war
 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
 Defending my holy land
 As if there's a god who would understand
 Feeding the promised land
 With your blood by my own hand
 At allah's own command
 At allah's own command
 I came up from the desert and here I will die
 Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
 Though I didn't want a war
 I went in for killing another man
 Defending my holy land
 As if there's a god who would understand
 As if there's a god who would understand
 I went in for killing another man
 Defending my holy land
 As if there's a god who would understand
 As if there's a god who would understand
 Oh yeah...
