lyrics

1/
How brutal is the chaos rained upon my heart I check my heart for stitches ‘cos this land has crossed my heart my heart’s not capable of love at all not love at all not love at all my heart it lives for hatred
Never once did I believe my land would savagely dictate negal in such a dying ghost of pain we sit here cold and broken.
Once upon a time my family lived for pride and now it lives for hatred

Chorus
If god exists then hell exists if hell exists it must be it
At least one thing I know is this at least I know god’s losing and
He cries and he cries it’s fucking murder

2/
How grateful as we see the night, to see the stars not clouds of phosphorus
Smoke that sting and hurt and burn our temples.
I can taste the hate upon my lips the wicked sprite has finally seduced me (as you watch on TV)
Dirty water flows right through our streets combined with blood and shit and piss
I saw my brother killed oh where’s the penance in his eyes
We’re on our knees we’re on our knees we pray for psalms we pray for psalms of
Mercy please and we cry and cry and cry.

Chorus
If god exists then hell exists if hell exists it must be it
At least one thing I know is this at least I know god’s losing and
He cries and he cries it’s fucking murder (they’ve shut the border) x 2

Middle 8 or so

The claimed this land they claimed this land they claimed it from the arabs etc

Chorus
If god exists then hell exists if hell exists it must be it
At least one thing I know is this at least I know god’s losing and
He cries and he cries it’s fucking murder (they’ve shut the border) x 2
