A fly on the wall (or should that be "cloud?") may hear musings...
You say I'm on your side
So do they I hear
You believe
They believe
What's the problem here?
You say your soul will rise
And theirs will descend
You go up
They go down
You're both wrong in the end
You say you know my mind
And so they should die
You are flesh
They are blood
Both mortal in my eye
I'm sick of being used
To justify the wrong
You're with me?
They are too
But I won't play along
You send me all those prayers
Incense, candles, the lot
Preach your creed
"They must bleed"
I'm not party to your plot
You rally and you rail
Wave weapons overhead
Chant your wrongs
Sing stirring songs
But I will not be led
You pursue your crusade
"The infidel must expire"
Quote your texts
Muscles flexed
But I am not for hire
I shall soon have my say
That all I ask is love
till your soil
Reward for toil
I shall speak from above
When I speak you will quake
Realise you err you fools
Justifying
all this dying
I shall crush your warring tools
You've used my name too long
To justify your hate
Twist my book
Fish and hook
Repentance? You're too late
All you need is love
Not a lot beside
Treat another
As your brother
Perhaps you'll turn the tide
