More Bombs On Israel

More Bombs On Israel

THE SAME OLD FIRE

Holy bullets screaming

Splitting the reckless night
Fireflies of death and destruction
Moving at the speed of light

Drone launched explosions echo
Throught the eardrums of the deaf
Cheap thrill after cheap thrill
Until there ain't nothing left

And somebody's holy war
Got a little bit sicker

The toll of the innocent dead
Climbs a little bit higher
The mechanics of murder
Get a little bit slicker

But it's just another flicker
In the same old fire

Vultures fill the horizon

Bodies splayed out in the summer heat
In the Land of Milk and Honey
Something seems so incomplete

But life has always been cheap here
And martyrs few and far between
Nothing surprises us any more

It's like we're livin' in a fifth-rate dream

And somebody's fantasy world

Got a lot more real real tonight

And for too long now the lines are blurred
Between the wrong and the right

And the mechanics of murder

Just keep on getting slicker

But it's always just another flicker

In the same old fire
