Lyrics
You with your guns
You with your racist fear
Where is your safety now
Where is your country now
You with your bombs
You with your lowly hate
Where is your victory now
How beats your heart
You with your fists
You with your bleeding wife
Where is your manliness
Where is your righteousness
You with your rope
You with your cheap revenge
Where is your justice now
How beats your heart
Are we the chosen ones
Are we God's finest hour
Or are we castaways
Far from what we could be
You with your blade
You with your thief's reward
Where is your history now
Where is your wisdom now
You with your tanks
You with your scarlet sands
Where is your holiness
How beats your heart
Are we the chosen ones, etc.
