This is the country I'm living in
Devil of greed, sickness within
Walk upon this ground
The ice is thin
See all the rich men spit on the poor
Smell the blood spilled on the floor
This is a signal of the upcoming war
Lord, give me something to believe
'Cause these are the things you've done for me
God, come down to Earth and look me in the eye
And help me stay alive
In the shadow of war
Speak of the anger, speak of the grief
Listen to the pope, man, I can't believe
Two-one-eight is law, give me relief
Ugh, look to the west, look to the east
Both are the same, filth and disease
Everywhere I go, I'll meet the beast
Lord, give me something to believe
'Cause these are the things you've done for me
God, come down to Earth and look me in the eye
And help me stay alive
In the shadow of war
Try to live
Try to give
Try to break the living hell
Learn to fight
Dream of light
Learn to speak
But do it schnell
In the shadow of war
