about

This song was inspired by the physical attack on a French newspaper, by an angry muslim over the fact that Allah was depicted in a cartoon. It made me wonder about religion, in general, and how extreme various religions can go in the name of "their" god. How many wars and people have been killed over the course of human history, in the name of a religion?

lyrics

We’re Going To War, Like Never Before
You Drew A Cartoon Of My God
No Making Fun Of Anyone, Especially My Own Allah

Battles Been Fought Since The Birth Of Man
Which Is Right – The Bible Or Koran?
Airplanes Smash Into Twin Towers - Holy Grail For Untold Powers

We Are Here By Devine Creation
Evolution Means Eternal Damnation
Due Unto Others Unto You - Except If You Are A Gay Or Jew

What Does It Matter Who Worships Who?
Budhas – Rastas – Bajas And Jews
Sihks – Shintos – Taoist – Hindu
Turn On The News To See Whose Killing Who

Chorus:
Rivers Run High, They Run Low
Leaves Turn Color, Thunder Rolls
Same Old Story Same As Before - No One Learns As It Unfolds
Repeat 1x Chorus
