Lyrics:

Blood red skies like a tropical storm
Hear the juvenile cries of deadly war
Feel the bitter sting of a geo-shock
And it just feels like it’ll never stop

For no people or ancient land
Should belong to no holy man
And we can’t turn our backs no more
We’ve said ‘never again’ before

As they blow them away
Our hands are tied but we can’t say
And blood still flows
Better the devil you know

Hear the sirens sound and the people weep
As bombs still drop where children sleep
How more need to die in vain?
Praise God, he’s on their side again
We’re making history
Remembered for our complicity

For no people or ancient land
Should belong to no holy man
And we can’t turn our backs no more
We’ve said ‘never again’ before

As they blow them away
More lives lost but profit made
Load the cargo
Better the devil you know

For no people or ancient land
Should belong to no holy man
And we can’t turn our backs no more
We’ve said ‘never again’ before

As they blow them away
Our hands are tied but we can’t say
And blood still flows
Better the devil you know

As they blow them away
More lives lost but profit made
Load the cargo
Better the devil you know
