Take A Life

from Strider by westwork

/

lyrics

we are the ones come to set you straight
no need to think, or live, or have an open debate
we are God’s Army.
And we stop progress
any plea for mercy simply won’t get noticed

starlight! starlight!
I wish that was me up there tonight.
starlight! starlight!
I wish that was me up there tonight.

we are the nightmare you had as a child
our list of influences range from Stalin to al-Wahhab

starlight! starlight!
I wish that was me up there tonight.
starlight! starlight!
I wish that was me up there tonight.

Your values a like the dogs we shoot in the streets for fun.
We take a life in the same way you greet on old school chum.

starlight! starlight!
I wish that was me up there tonight.
or any place,
just not right here!
Is there any savior who’ll appear?
No. The camera’s rolling, the scene begins,
the knife is out
and Evil always wins.

women stoned for learning to read
homosexuals burned while their families plead
ancient books and texts just tossed
2 thousand years of knowledge lost
child brides as young as the age of six
these perverse and vile and mentally sick
motherfuckers have taken a doctrine of love and twisted it
beyond what any sane person would ever be capable of .
