lyrics

White phosphorus light, herald of blight
Down from the northern sky tonight
Ancestral strife, hypocrisy rife
Distort into hunger for innocent life
Fathomless pain; shifting the blame
With every bomb they drop
Decay and starvation reign
Every day, ten children
Who will never walk again

The hour is late
Nowhere is safe
To go or to stay, it matters not
The tides won’t abate
Dripping with hate
They dance upon 20,000 graves

It goes on
Over and over
Over and over and over

Children enslaved
Stripped to their skin
And paraded like beasts
Through the glades
Slaughtered as babes
Dragged into light from the earth
Torn and ravaged by flames

Darkest of days
Seventy-six years
Of suffering their torturous ways
Oh the cruel and depraved
They laugh as they dance
Upon 20,000 graves

And I’m watching
And I’m waiting
And I’m watching
The world creeping in

Shameful accord across adjacent seas
Our craven hands bear the bloodied stain
Of the sin of our complacency
If there’s a hell, then we will burn the same
This errant road, we wander faithlessly
From sordid heights to a killer’s shame
We fall
Oh God willing

Lend the broken, the lost, the maimed
The strength to make it through the night
And let the ruin this place became
Be born anew beneath the morning light
And let their birthright be reclaimed
From hallowed heights to unholy flames
We fall
But God willing

We will see it all come down
We will see it all come down
We will see the end

We will see the end
