Digging Graves in Palestine A plague of darkness falls Killing Jews in Bethlehem A place of dreamless sleep Damascus steel of wars foul dread Blasting horrors from hell Across the dunes of Gilgamesh A screaming death awaits Gilgamesh Sumerian gods are desert dust The slaughter never ends The dead are laid in newborn graves In a blood rich icy swell. Children burn in Lebanon Hurled on shrieking pyres Across the dunes of Gilgamesh A screaming death awaits Gilgamesh Behold the quenchless eastern fire To frenzied war we are driven To stoke the hearths of guttural moans This craving maw we are given Bones are cleaved and shattered Amidst the hail and thunder Ashes raked and scattered Dignity cast asunder You daze at the heavens so magnificent and vast Dreaming of peace with shrapnel up your arse. One god with many names One race with many faces Everyone's right and everyone's wrong And they'll not know what they have lost Until its all fucking gone. Children burn in Lebanon Hurled on shrieking pyres Sumerian gods now desert dust Consumed by the voice of hate. Give them Guns, Give them aids & Give them bibles and cut price graves Forget the afflicted, ignore the dispossessed Its not our problem, its their fucking mess. Feed the world with vinegar and oil Do they know its Christmas? Is Santa clause black? Does it snow in Africa? Its Christmas It's a time for giving, for giving up and dying. Bury the dead in cess pits The smell wont be so bad
