VX Gas Attack

Lyrics

Welcome to the morning news
 In its long and deadly war with Iraq, Iran has repeatedly sought international condemnation of Baghdad's alleged use of chemical weapons
 The Iranians had a grisly opportunity to make their case
 (Ritual murders)
 A city in eastern Iraq
 Recently occupied by Iranian forces
 After a brief and bloody siege, according to Iran,
 The Iraqis bombed the city with chemical weapons
 After the defeat, the Iranians said the attack killed more than four thousand civilians
 Welcome to the VX gas attack
 (Bethlehem, Bethlehem)
 At ground zero
 Pro-independence
 Heavier than air fumes (Ritual murders)
 City with chemical
 Alleged cyanide gas (Bethlehem)
 On to Karbala
 (there are limits to our patience) (Bethlehem)
 Or Karbala
 On to Karbala
 (?) hundreds or possibly thousands of victims of one of the worst chemical warfare attacks since World War I
 What is the difference between Israel's plight
 A belief in outside influence
 Outside influence
 We have the technology to produce chemical weapons
 There are limits to our patience
 We will not remain idle forever
 So efficient (Ritual murders)
 Like scalding water (Bethlehem)
 A side effect of (Ritual murders)
 Their faces and lungs (Bethlehem) burnt (Ritual murders)
 A sudden harsh smell (Bethlehem) (Ritual murders)
 Two weeks after still
 Coughing, choking
 Livid skin blisters
 Burn often (Bethlehem)
 They can understand the government's message
 In a shop, in a working-class district one day last week
 One man demonstrated the idea of a chemical warfare protector
 By putting a plastic shopping bag over his head
 Posters, leaflets
 Nightly radio and television programs
 (Believed dead)
 Dead instructions in the use
 Of such basic devices
 As a damp towel
 A damp towel lined with charcoal
 To be applied to the face and mouth
 When the "beep, beep, beep" gas attack
 Warning signal sounds
 We're analyzing water, soil, and human tissue samples
 To get clearer information about the gas attack.
 Meanwhile, doctors monitor bone marrow damage
 (Ritual murders) Believed dead (Bethlehem)
 Dead were among
 Porcelain face
 Cloud of frozen gas poison
 Jagged fragment
 (Ritual murders)
 Meanwhile, back on the west bank
 They are frightened, (Bethlehem)
 Revere the red, green, white, black colors
 (Of the flag tied to the mosque in the distance) What's the difference in religious suffering
 Palestine, Jew, Iranian, Iraqi bombs sun
 The first cyanide gas warning
 The first cyanide attack gas warning
 Says someone came in a car with an Uzi
 And killed his friend in a grave down the crossroads by the mosque.
 The friend of the dead man promises he will never forget
 (Ritual murders) (Ritual murders) (Bethlehem)
