Tribes
We think in terms of Us and Other
We run in packs together
Without our walls none calls us Brother
We are This and They are That.
This is where the hate begins
Their gods with ours must disagree
We are Fire They are Water
They all go blind to what we see.
The infidels are not allowed
To share this world our gods have made
We shall seek them out and slay them
Remove Their root by Holy spade.
The smoke arises from Their dwellings
These evils done appease our rage
Soon They shall come to set the balance
So it goes from age to age.
This is how we nourish murder
This is how we feed on hate
Victims all in endless cycles
Rape and burn; retaliate.
