The Crescent and the Cross
This song is in response to the new Bin Laden tape which surfaced recently. What an asshole. I just don't know how anyone, no matter their religion, would want to live in a world without peace. What a sorry life some people lead.
Lyrics
Against our wishes you're spreading your message
And fire is your only ally
We must wage war for that ill is the only way
Never a warning not even a whisper
Just radio chatter and video tape
The foundation we build on is created of fear
And potent a poison which spreads through the ear
We did the same thing so long ago
We turned the masses with the seeds of fear we'd sew
Look at us now we only answer to us
The fear we were farming has grown into trust
But the faith we embrace is as worthless as dust
It is blown by the wind and has settled as loess
Fearlessly guarding the people we've saved
Revealed by the power and concealed by the cave
Instructed by God he who keeps us unscathed
And the same God awards us with virgins as slaves
Strike down the enemy and we will be paid
But not in this worthless life we behave
Only satisfied with life if a martyr we're made
We did the same thing so long ago
We turned the masses with the seeds of fear we'd sew
Look at us now we only answer to us
The fear we were farming has grown into trust
But the faith we embrace is as worthless as dust
It is blown by the wind and has settled as loess
We have one thing in common we both remain wrong
The ideas we have they won't last for long
Imposing religion where it doesn't belong
You spill the blood it's the ground you stand on
Soon you will discover that you stand alone
With no God to guide you alone on your throne
Respect will be wilted no place to call home
With no God to guide you alone on your throne
We did the same thing so long ago
We turned the masses with the seeds of fear we'd sew
Look at us now we only answer to us
The fear we were farming has grown into trust
But the faith we embrace is as worthless as dust
It is blown by the wind and has settled as loess
