Spill My Wine (Fallujah) Lyrics

We are tired of staring
at our brothers on the ground.
Keep the music blaring.
Our salvation is the sound.

I am emptied, Father.
Stripped of armor -- short of time.
There are waiting others
hungry for the savage sign.
Seal Fallujah's borders
tease the serpents from the crowd.
Raise our sacred heroes
Let the verses scream out loud.

Spoken:
We gazed down from colossal turrets
onto the gates of the ancient city,
our tanks idling restless on the timeless drift.
Whole armies lay entombed beneath the sands
where we now plotted our advance.
On the eve of battle, many struggled with strange visions.
In an effort to break the tension, someone began reciting a prayer
before the tank commander ordered him to stop.
Like trace-fire, the man's amen trailed off
into the bowels of the dark machine....

I can feel your shadows
cast their spells across my mind.
Chills me to the marrow
Stain my garden, spill my wine
Spill my wine, spill my wine
spill my wine, spill my wine.

[jers59]

[spacecadet1989]

@jers59 so that's what our heroes do after they come back from baby killing....

[jers59]

@spacecadet1989 Go back to your kebad kiosk it will never be built Im one of those union workers and I can tell you any union worker caught working on mosque will be kicked out of the union and there is plenty of construction work in lower NYC

[spacecadet1989]

@spacecadet1989 and yeah, old man, all the wars you fought in or supported were wrongful and evil. You took part in the vilest acts ever committed, acts that no religion, philosophy or logic could ever condone or justify. I hope you realize that and ask for God's forgiveness the rest of your days instead of continuing to insult your own intelligence with all this stupid lone ranger g.i. joe bullshit.

[spacecadet1989]

@jers59 OK...let me do this real slow so your vestigial boot camp brain can understand. The prayer space (which is basically what a mosque is) is functioning at park 51. Hundreds of people say their prayers there every day. Donations are coming in thick (like your head) and fast (like you running from poor peasants in the desert) and it WILL be built regardless of your infantile wishes. The unions will forget all about their so-called patriotism once they get a scent of the almighty dollar.

[jers59]

@spacecadet1989 get off the crack pipe nothing gets built in NYC with out union workers and no union worker will work on terrorist mosque in fact they have stickers on there helmets saying this. this abomination will disappear

[spacecadet1989]

@jers59 Sonny you're looking at minority status in another 20 years or so, so learn to live as an equal. Those good ole rootin tootin days are over. By the way, hundreds of people are already saying five prayers a day at Park 51 so get your head out of the wonderland where the sun don't shine and make a real effort to learn about the world and whats going on in it. That great big white world you have in your head does not exist. Grow up kiddo.

[jers59]

@spacecadet1989 Get the fuck out of the US you paki piece of shit the muslims days in the US are numbered no terrorist mosque at ground zero it will never be built
