LYRICS
Killing for Jesus
Killing for Allah
Killing for Christ
In the name of dogma
Killing someone’s Father
Killing someone’s Mother
Killing a stranger
Due to their skin colour
Killing someone’s Sister
Killing someone’s Brother
Killing people who have
The same sex partners
That smell is death, that stench is human hair
Crackling sapiens skin, phosphorus in the air
The road to Damascus, blood-soaked Jerusalem
Spent shell casings, land mines, craters, dust, and limbs
Killing on orders
Killing for cash
Killing for borders
Superstitions of the past
Killing for peace
Killing for war
Killing for God
But what the fuck for?
Killing for religion
The tablets of ten
Killing because they can
Killing the children
To the victor go the spoils
To the victor go the spoils
To the victor go the spoils
