Shedding Blood

lyrics

(Dropping the World)

“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
Isaiah 48:10 – Holly Bible

There’s a war on the trade winds
As economies are blown away
Safe at home as it happen
In a scary place so far away
There is no time for discussion
For debating culpability
Framing the extent of destruction
On a canvas of nuclear nihility
But then it all comes down…

After action reaction
The world debates our deeds
As the media creams
Such a charming distraction
Death in Hi-Def
TiVo’ed on wide screen

Mortal men are falling
“The Americans are here now!”
We have never claimed to be
Saviors of the whole world, you see
Although it seems we have to be

When the world is falling down around you
And the wolf is at the door
As you hide, we hit the ground
And pound the enemy and go to war
It takes boots on the sand…

It’s the latest infraction
A call to arms in the wake
Of another catastrophe
There is no peace thru inaction
In a world of colliding ideologies
All the world is calling
The evidence is clear now
We have never claimed to be
Saviors of the whole world, you see
Although it seems we have to be

“Thus far shalt thou go and No further…”
– Thomas Paine
GOD BLESS AMERICA
As Pariahs dance in the oil fields
We send greetings from the Promised Land
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Peace is not a miracle
America has shed her blood for you
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Another terrorist bastion
Defines themselves as martyrs
Wielding Allah’s Sword
We are at war with the factions
Leaving IEDs on the step of Heaven’s door

GOD BLESS AMERICA
GOD BLESS AMERICA
