God and gun’s
Standing by the blood filled river
The little boy starts to shiver
Now he’s orphaned by another war
To young to understand what for
Crying in the relentless heat
War was never discreet
Innocents held hostage
By the guilty hands of carnage
With demands and demons in their heads
And so the killing spreads
But it’s the young who pay the price
With every roll of our dice
Chorus
God and gun’s what the hell have we done
Armed the fanatic
You don’t wanna see what’s in their attic
Reading between the lines Brainwashed and confused
By their leaders they are abused
Protests and bloodshed
Misread religion wide spread
But no god asks man to kill
It’s the devils way of a cheap thrill
Laughing all the way to the bank
Religion books should be left blank
Once again the world is held to ransom
By a stranger tall dark and handsome
Gotta be a peaceful solution
Who’s gonna grant us a stay of execution
We must learn to tame the beast
Before mankind becomes deceased
Chorus God and gun’s what the hell have we done
Armed the fanatic
You don’t wanna see what’s in their attic
Reading between the lines
Brainwashed and confused
By their leaders they are abused

Devil’s blood
Misery poverty and despair
A world full of suffering
Famine is always caused by warfare
Greed and the ultimate price
Out of our hands and into yours Sometimes life ain’t nice
Every machine needs it’s juice
The soul from mother earth
If only we was told the truth
Separating son from daughter
to stop us seeing the real truth
We pay the price with every slaughter
chorus
Traded Jesus for something black
It’s the devil’s blood that’s a fact
No longer drinking from a loving cup
As we chase the easy buck
Satan grins behind our back
it’s the devils blood and that’s a fact
Flames licking the sky, waves reaching so high
Just like the book of long ago
Jesus told us why All is darkness all is sin
A fight of the spirit no one can win
the devil holds us for ransom
See them walk in suits
Don’t they look handsome
Walls will soon fall down
As we see it all like it was red
chorus
Traded Jesus for something black
It’s the devil’s blood that’s a fact
No longer drinking from a loving cup
As we chase the easy buck
Satan grins behind our back
it’s the devils blood and that’s a fact
