Lyrics
Lord of War
I watched the fires in Baghdad, the visions in my head. 1000 lives on market sold with petroleum it read. I cried when freedoms wires told the tales of greed weren't' fed. Local heroes in iron clad, the promises they bled
The Promised land Afghanistan, the Russians long had fled. Coalition solders in mountains high, in deserts they did tread. The clean crew of me and you their mission all but said. In friendly fire the families lost their courage, move a head. Left high and dry to wonder why their allies all have fled.
500 years and all the tears Cortez's blood was shed. In Aztec gold that grows with mold and the poison it did spread. All those whores met Cuba's shores with little warning said. Vienna's rules met with ridicule and Guantanamo it bled.
I count the days in May, you never felt that pain.
You mount that lord of war. I am that stain.
