For The Greater Glory

A circle of stones to capture the sun-god

We call him to earth to banish the cold

The blood of our children will safeguard the harvest

We willingly give all we have in the hope of his love

For the greater glory

With our hearts and souls we sacrifice

We'll banish the infidel cross from our homeland

With the love of Allah on our side we can't fail

Our saracen blades will turn red the desert

Our martyrs will reap their reward in God's paradise

For the greater glory

With our hearts and souls we sacrifice

Dear mother, the rain's been falling for days now

I think we're in Belgium though some say it's France

You'd like the captain, he seems like a nice man

He says that tomorrow we'll get our big chance

Last night outside on the wire I heard a boy dying

In the tongue of our foe he called out for his mother and cried

"Dear Ma, I'm sorry, but God doesn't live here

Remember your son who is gone now because of his lies"

For the greater glory

With our hearts and souls we sacrifice

For the greater glory

With our flesh and blood

Our fathers and brothers and husbands and sons

We pay the price
