This is the country I'm living in Devil of greed, sickness within Walk upon this ground The ice is thin See all the rich men spit on the poor Smell the blood spilled on the floor This is a signal of the upcoming war Lord, give me something to believe 'Cause these are the things you've done for me God, come down to Earth and look me in the eye And help me stay alive In the shadow of war Speak of the anger, speak of the grief Listen to the pope, man, I can't believe
Two-one-eight is law, give me relief Ugh, look to the west, look to the east Both are the same, filth and disease Everywhere I go, I'll meet the beast Lord, give me something to believe 'Cause these are the things you've done for me God, come down to Earth and look me in the eye And help me stay alive In the shadow of war Try to live Try to give Try to break the living hell Learn to fight Dream of light Learn to speak But do it schnell In the shadow of war
