The God forsaken rifleman stands rigid at the bar
|
The kids discover victims in the rubble and the tar
|
They're married to ambition to the slogans of the war
|
Slogans that used to be scrawled on the wall
|
Are written in the heart
|
|
A woman bows to Mecca and she struggles to her feet
|
It's better since the president took shooting off the street
|
She pictures all the poverty the cursed Holy War
|
The pictures that used to be scrawled on the wall
|
Are written in the heart
|
|
The elders make a promise and they forge it in the fire
|
The general's car is sabotaged, four bullets in the tire
|
With the burning of the words there goes the scorching of the earth
|
The words that used to be scrawled on the wall
|
Are written in the heart
|
