In The Name of God

Gather up your arms, for today we fight
In the name of God, our creater of all
Don your battle gear, kiss loved ones goodbye
In the name of God, we'll watch them fall

They've taken our land, from ocean to hill
another God they dare to call their own
how can they be so shameless and wrong
To OUR God, they will soon bow down

Gather up your weapons of mass destruction
for in the name of God, we'll take their land
and all the treasures that it holds
we'll change their ways, those left to stand

We'll tear down their walls and buildings too
the landscape will be witness to our bombs
and should the innocent get in the way
it's the price they'll pay for all their wrongs

But wait, a voice in the distance afar
crying out to be heard above the battle fire
How can you call this a holy war
is this really God's....or man's desire?

God gave us the land, from sea to sea
The mountains and plains of massive wealth
The deserts and lakes, lands so diverse
taking eons to form, for all it's worth

Now you want to see it all blown away
destroy every inch of precious land
do you dare to obliterate what God has made
who are you, that you know what's in God's hands?

In the name of God, can't there just be peace?
can we not learn from each other's ways?
and share the bounty God has bestowed
In the name of God, pray for better days!
