Afraid To Shoot Strangers

AlphabetLyrics.com


Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground.

When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die.

God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on earth.

Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive.

But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say.

Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers.
