Lyrics

Armies of soldiers
Sacred bloody wars
Brothers divided behind hatred walls

And the tale goes on and on it goes

Tall iron fences
Feuds and families
Rivers of sweat and blood around their knees

This ground is sacred not for everyone to see
It?s the little gift you keep for me (2)

Platinum, diamond
Plates and drops of gold
Fortunes a thousand generations old

And the tale goes on and on it goes

Fortresses, temples
ancient synagogues
Holly cathedrals, celebrated mosques

This ground is sacred not for everyone to see
It?s the little gift you keep for me (2)


This is no pleasure of a Caesar
No Pieta, no Mona Liza
It?s a little gift you keep for me
It?s the little gift you keep for me

Armies of soldiers fall
Fences are standing tall
And the tale goes on and on it goes

See feuds and families
See blood around their knees
This ground is sacred not for everyone to see
It?s the little gift you keep for me (2)
