Blood For The Democrat

by Chris Harding   Feb 4, 2006


Could you find Edens rose
After you smashed down its gates
Did we see it coming
A peaceful message sent too late
A world baptized in fire
As we stand amongst the ruins
Protesting voices go unheard
As you fight for democracy
Inflicting your will upon the world

When will we stand
To make a difference
Sing our songs of protest
Until you hear us
Stabbed in the back
For the sake of your interests
One step too far
As you put a gun against their head

Sick of your two faces
As you appeal to our mercy
In the wake of this tsunami
To what end will you go
To serve your “patriotic” purpose
A pointless war waged for vengenance
As their rivers run red
With the blood of innocence

And as this man draws his last breath
Thinking of his dead family
Did you make martyrs out of them?
You uncompassionate bastard!
You stole the greatest gift of life
To grant freedom to their corpses
You call that liberation?
Is that your democracy?
A bullet through his head
As your victims lay dead
Our warning you did not heed
As what could have been peaceful intent
Now becomes a tool for vicious contempt

Were you successful
As you suck the oil out of the land
The life blood of our capitalist civilization
As you reign king over dead men
Is this your gift to them?

To finish what your father started
In a search for a terrorist threat
Like woodlice they become
Waiting in the dark
Hiding under every stone
And each time you kill one
Another parentless child
Will rise to take their place
Is that what you fail to realise?
The never ending cycle of destruction
That you’ve created
Only breeds more of the same

As you wallow in your polluted mess
In neglect of the principles of kyoto
As your people cough up their guts
In stout defiance to the rest

Through ignorance you fight
And from your own poisons
We will all die
When will you realise?
When will you shoulder your responsibility?

Like a child who has to have all the sweets
Soon your teeth will rot
And you will understand
Should your responsibility now
Before we all suffer death at your hand
