Detente - Holy War lyrics

(Words: Crosby; Music Robinson/Hochheiser)

Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you're losing

it's well worth the price

You're on a mission for your god

and the innocents you take with you are examples for us all

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near

She takes her last breath

Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done

Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near

She takes her last breath

Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done

Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

Holy war, holy war. You keep on dying, you don't know who it's for

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for
