Lyrics The Battle of Hatin - Breed 77

The Battle of Hatin

empire of religion, war of faith
piracy’s a legacy
while fortune favours the brave
if you could see through history
the blood’s on the page
conquistadors and matadors
are killing and raping mother —
earth is almost giving out
to people that don’t care about
the governments have all gone mad
the freedoms that they never knew they had
to submit before their power
or to fight for what is mine
(why don’t we go to)
war — it’s the nature of mankind to go to war
war — can’t you see the infidels are at the door
hatin — can we fight till there’s no enemy
hatin — there’s a right and a wrong way to be
hatin — don’t give up there’s no fear anymore
hatin — just believe in the fight
and we’ll all go to war
now you’re forgiven and lost your faith
you’ve done away with weakness
and sadness stands in it’s place
the phallacy of history
we’re wiping the page
we crawl around like insects
and oil is our new religion
all the soldiers stand in line
cos war’s the language of our time
you think we’d learnt the lesson now
but history repeats itself somehow
like the deaf leading the blind
but this war it is not mine
(why don’t we go to)
war, war
hatin — can we fight till there’s no enemy
hatin — there’s a right and a wrong way to be
hatin — don’t give up there’s no fear anymore
hatin — just believe in the fight
and we’ll all go to war
war is a mystery — no!
carrying misery — why?
already joined the army —
you are paying for their sorrow
now with the markets falling — buy!
invasion is the key — sell!
they’re selling all the reasons
force-feeding democracy
so leave me out of this one
this war is not for me
don’t have a choice — i’m sorry
you’d best stay away from me
hatin
the war
