Go Tell the Terrorist

You are not gallant as they say You are not fierce as your heart boasts You are but a coward The corward of this age For you have but no blood Coursing in your veins Neither are you a gliding serpent Nor a blazing dragon For those have hearts in their chests You exalt yourself as of the heavens And push a crown onto your brainless head Just because you have sprayed your bullets On worshippers Who know not your cause And splashed their brains Onto the holy ceiling above Just because you have covered The pure white walls With a surge of red rain Of the innocents' blood Just because you have raided The skulls of our innocents And placed your bullets there You flaunt your red crowns Gorged with blood To the world to see? Tell me not your case Go face those you accuse For is it this child you accuse? Before us you stand vanquished Bombs or no bombs We remain uncowed Death or no death We remain unbowed For even death cannot stand us For death rules only in the grave And soon will be deposed What a fool you are In all the world To feast on lies Your small brain That your hope Is in those bags Of death that you flaunt You can hurl them all you want Those carriers of your death But we never will bow down We never will go down To you and the death you bring Even if you push on your head That unholy crown of blood
