lyrics

Oh Lord, I know you’re patience
I need to ask you to forgive my nation
I’d like to say that they know not what they do
But i got the sinking suspicion they know all about you.

We know it’s wrong (and still do it)
We can’t go along (and go through with it)
draping those coffins in the old red, white and blue.

Father, forgive my nation
we know it’s time to pull our hand away

Oh Lord, I know you’re honest
You’ve got to tell these people that they’ve lost it
Talking on and on about a Christian nation
dropping all these bombs without a moments hesitation
We know it’s wrong (and still do it)
We can’t go along (and go through with it)
Raping creation with luciferian tools

Father, forgive my nation
we know it’s time to pull our hand away

“fallen, fallen is babylon
they can have the united nation
they can have the arab league
it doesn’t matter what they say
it doesn’t matter what they do
they can talk about the brotherhood of man
they can talk of their new world order
fallen is babylon”

Oh Lord, I know you’re gracious
how could we not already
run out of these chances?
you told us long ago to run away from Babylon
We turned away from you
and with the beast we’re wandering
We know it’s wrong (and still do it)
We can’t go along (and go through with it)
Wasting this precious time
we could be spending with you.
