I wrote this over ten years ago after watching a documentary about the fighting in Israel. Specifically, the fighting over some holy building.
I was sooo angry people would act like this over a fucking Building, holy and historical value notwithstanding. I thought some one should just evac the area and bomb the damn thing and be done with it.
I chose this over a letter to a congressman. ;)
~For Your God~
It's in your blood to kill for your god
And in this light you live
Under your cross
This is your loss
In the night we cry these lives they die
His holy fight that we should pay
That we should fear to walk the day
You miss the message of his plight
You miss the judgement wrong or right
It's in you blood it's in you blood
Celebrate torture that's what we do
And you'll never forgive us
For acting like you
The sun will rise another day
The potter says you're not his clay
It's in your blood in your blood
It's not in your blood
To kill for your god
