23 AUG 88
MESSIAH
The people are waiting,
waiting for the man,
the Messiah to come,
and make this the Promised Land.
They're sitting quiet,
as quiet as they can,
for the Messiah to come,
and make this the Promised Land.
They refuse to fight,
fight for their land,
for it is wrong,
no killing in the Promised Land.
So the soldiers murdered,
murdered all of them,
there was no resistance,
they waited for the man.
The messiah he came,
came to their land,
it was empty,
nothing in the Promised Land.
