Divine Retribution

In the desert we cultivate
Battles filled with the wine of holy hate
Kill the ones who don't agree with us,
Shoot them down and strip them of their pride

Lo! a war cry in the distance
–drawing nearer is the enemy
Prepare for divine retribution
In the name of our nation

In the desert you'll find me,
Swimming in the sand with the snakes
Locusts will swarm over the earth
As the bombs rain over baghdad

In the desert we seek the prize:
Oil richer than our leader's lies
Pretense of deadly weapons
Existing only in our feeble minds
Rushing to the scene of total war
Lives lost and senseless gore
(church bells ringing) this is divine retribution
(ding dong, ding dong) in the name of our nation

In the great sand dunes,
People are filled with hate and bigotry
Seeking a target for their violence
Never-ending dissent on both sides

Come together in solidarity,
Mourning the fallen in agony
Drop the weapons and veils,
End all this bloodshed
Come back to humanity!
