lyrics

All The Devil's Sons

See the man and his wife in a factory town
Every day slave away till the sun goes down
And all they ask is their sons stay safe
And get to go to school someday.

So they go to the church, get down and pray
For the Christian king of the new crusade
May his aim be sure and G-d be proud
We're gonna take the devil's army out

'Cause if you wanna have a home, you gotta stick out your hand and pay
And if we wanna keep our country, we gotta live like they say

Ashes to ashes - dust to dust
Pull the trigger and in G-d we trust
Invaders gonna come. Stuff your closets full o' guns
Even though we've never seen a single one
They all must be devil's sons.

Now see the man and his child in a desert town
Every day more afraid of the sun going down
No there'll be no rest in this bed of fear
When the western godlessness draws near

So they pray on dusty knees and hands
On family bones below the sands
"May our aim be sure and our hearts beat proud
As we stand our ground and shout out loud,

If you wanna have our home you gotta stick out your hand and pay
Yeah, if you come to take our country, you're gonna get blown away!"

Ashes to ashes - dust to dust
Pull the trigger and in G-d we trust
Invaders gonna come. Stuff your closets full o' guns
Even though we've never seen a single one
They all must be devil's sons.

All the king's horses
All the king's men
Couldn't put the Kingdom
Together again
