Testo Holy Wars - Detente

Holy Wars

Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you’re losing
it’s well worth the price
You’re on a mission for your God,
and the innocents you take with you are examples for us all
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know who it’s for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know what it’s for
I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near
She takes her last breath
Then you unfold your leader’s picture, show him what you’ve done
Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know who it’s for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know what it’s for
I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near
She takes her last breath
Then you unfold your leader’s picture, show him what you’ve done
Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know who it’s for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know what it’s for
Holy war, holy war. You keep on dying, you don’t know who it’s for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don’t know what it’s for.
