Killing Fountains Lyrics - Fury In The Slaughterhouse

I see rockets in the desert sky 

I see flesh and blood and I don't know why 

I've seen fathers and I've seen them die 

I've seen mothers and their daughters cry 

Surprised soldiers with holes in their heads 

Smiling presidents sweating in their beds 

Dreaming of the land where the black gold flows 

Where the sun always shines and the desert wind blows 

It's always one step forward and two steps back 

They stumble and fall and break their necks 

In the land of the killing fountains 

Once it was God's land in the middle-ages 

Now blue helmets try to stop the rage 

While rocket launchers burn the sand 

That's what you call the promised land 

It's always one step forward and two steps back 

They stumble and fall and break their necks 

In the land of the killing fountains 

You can kill bodies but you can't kill religion 

This is the truth and peace is the fiction 

In the land of the killing fountains 

And millions die with a silent smile 

Seven days a week and the years pass by 

In the land of the killing fountains 

Where the black gold flows, where the desert wind blows
