Lyrics

Clash Of The Intransigents

(G. Hannah)
New Dark Age Parade, 2006

As the bombs fall out of the sky
And the houses burn and the bullets fly
Hear the dying scream, hear the wounded cry
You say you’re building a democracy

As the car bombs and the mortars explode
And the fighter jets release a lethal load
See the bodies of children lying dead on the road
You say it’s not hypocrisy

See the angry men burning effigies
While the foreign troops torture detainees
And the innocent are begging on their knees
You’re pursuing a philosophy

Is an act divine when it’s written in blood?
Are a people free when they’re dead in the mud?
Have you stopped the leak or have you started a flood?
This is an atrocity

Killing a family won’t get you to heaven
Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure
It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction

As the sirens wail behind the fire fight
And the homeless people cower in fright
Is it the strength of conviction, or does might make right?
I question your theology

Inside the body bags and the makeshift graves
Lie endless examples of an action depraved
You’re not “freedom fighters”, you’re compassion betrayed
And I make no apology

Killing a family won’t get you to heaven
Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure
It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction

As the bombs fall and the houses burn
Hear the dying scream
Your say you���re building a theocracy
Is an act divine when it’s written in blood?
Are a people free when they’re dead in the mud?
Have you stopped the leak or have you started a flood?
This is an atrocity

Killing a family won’t get you to heaven
Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure
It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction
