For This Cause

Demons hatched from isolated shell Has brought down to us hell Simple men with simple lives Introverts, quiet and withdrawn Summoned to fight this cause Trained as suicide bombers Bomb strapped around their own bodies Airplane hijacked They blew up the twin tower Train stations, church cathedrals Prominent, crowded places where the next target Terror is the weapon of warfare To achieve this extreme ideology Annihilation of the Semitic race They saw this as a good cause Worthy to sacrifice their own lives This belief that their reward is in paradise Seventy-two virgins and loads of purest wine To enjoy in the life beyond Allahu Akbar So they reeled out the charter The words spoken were fire Which burned deep in their hearts And flame up a greater jihad For all infidels must pay the price Those traitors who aligned with the Jews Must lose their lives Allahu Akbar This is the spirit of Assyria at work Evil powers in high places With unquenchable thirst for human blood Addicted to killing, destroying And unleashing terror without respite Now we began to negotiate with Iblis To appease his proud pomposity First, we offered back the prisoners And ask them to release the hostages We offered them crude oil, gold and silver Anything we could give as exchange, we gave But will they ever let go, I doubt it
