House Of Lords - Desert Rain lyrics

"In the Battle of Iraq The United States and our allies... ...have prevailed" In the city, in the dead of the night The king sits on his throne And he moves around the pieces And he makes the facts his own In the desert, a million miles away A boy looks to the sky And he sees the night exploding And the tears come to his eyes And he wonders: What do they want? What do they want? It's a desert rain A cavalcade of flames Fired in the name Of the sacred and profane And we're all to blame And nothing will remain Unless we rise up To stop this desert rain Desert rain To the fat cats behind the wheel Nothing is taboo As they thirst for domination And they hunger for the crude In the desert, in the dead of the night The boy, he prays alone And he wants to be a hero So he's strapping on a bomb And we wonder: What do they want? What do they, what do they want? It's a desert rain A cavalcade of flames Fired in the name Of the sacred and profane And we're all to blame And nothing will remain Unless we rise up To stop this desert rain Desert rain Oh, and we wonder: What do they want? What do they, what do they want? It's a desert rain A cavalcade of flames Fired in the name Of the sacred and profane And we're all to blame And nothing will remain Unless we rise up To stop this desert rain This desert rain, this desert rain This desert rain, this desert rain And we're all to blame And nothing will remain Unless we rise up To stop this desert rain Desert rain
