Halon System - Blood in the Sand

Bootleg-quality recording of my old band, Halon System (2010).

Lyrics:
Blood-soaked sand by mine own hands
martyred lives and genocides

Blessed are the war makers
and blessed be the forsakers
roadside bombs and mourning psalms
it's not as fun to get along

Generations of warring tribes
stoke the fire with their babies' lives
ancient conflict escalates
while other nations feed the hate

Roadside bombs, mourning psalms
blood of lambs washed from hands

The blood of lambs feeds the beast
all join in the bloody feast
a tyrant falls, another rises
promising peace amid the crisis

Only hatred springs from the sand
when it's tended by another land
burning oil stings the sniper's eyes
with one closed, the target's realized
