Digging Graves in Palestine

A plague of darkness falls

Killing Jews in Bethlehem

A place of dreamless sleep

Damascus steel of wars foul dread

Blasting horrors from hell

Across the dunes of gilgamesh

A screaming death awaits

Gilgamesh

Children burn in Lebanon

Hurled on shrieking pyres

Sumerian gods are desert dust

The slaughter never ends

The dead are laid in newborn graves

In a blood rich icy swell

Across the dunes of gilgamesh

A screaming death awaits

Gilgamesh

Behold the quenchless eastern fire

To frenzied war we are driven

To stoke the hearths of guttural moans

This craving maw we are given

Bones are cleaved and shattered

Amidst the hail and thunder

Ashes raked and scattered

Dignity cast asunder

You gaze at the heavens so magnificent and vast

Dreaming of peace with shrapnel up your arse.

One god with many names

One race with many faces

Everyone’s right and everyone’s wrong

And they’ll not know what they have lost

Until its all fucking gone.

Children burn in Lebanon

Hurled on shrieking pyres

Sumerian gods now desert dust

Consumed by the voice of hate.

Give them Guns, Give them aids &

Give them bibles and cut price graves

Forget the afflicted, ignore the dispossessed

It's not our problem, it's their fucking mess.

Feed the world with vinegar and oil

Do they know it's Christmas?

Is Santa Clause black?

Does it snow in Africa?

It's christmas

It’s a time for giving, for giving up and dying.

Bury the dead in cess pits

The smell won't be so bad
