Story behind the song
Greed politics all roads point in the wrong direction
Lyrics
Take the oil from the water
Give the oil to your daughter
burn the oil all for slaughter
for the dead that you bring
Getyour beads and your bible
Theyll never hold u liable
With your mind in denial
WHile to you gods you do sing
Take the ice caps and melt them
Let the waters overwhelm them
With the cards that you dealt them
Even Goliath drowns in the sea
Take the words that your telling
With your fingers pointed yelling
And your dirty money smelling
LIke your lies and hypocrisy
Send you children out to pillage
the stores of the village
deep down in dark sewage
While the fires burned the sky
Break the backs of the worthy
before its 4 30
and show em no mercy
in all that they try
And so we are taken
bent broken black beaten
forced to kneel down
by the highgods leading
this world on a mission
to its funeral pyre
bred on the dark wings
of revenge and desire.
