Rancor

A child bred and raised by hate
Learns only to reciprocate
And when his life becomes unfurled
He seeks his vengeance on the world
In religion he seeks escape
In self-sacrifice’s false embrace
Hatred, anger never ceased
His rancor only feeds the beast

It’s just another jihad
Yeah, just another crusade
Just another holy avenger
Just another terrorist made

A child trained to kill by fear
Wipes from his face a bloody tear
Terror-born, now terror spreads
With thoughts of justice in his head
He straps the bomb onto his chest
And counts himself amongst the blessed
But no matter how hard he pretends
The cycle of hatred never ends

It’s just another jihad
Yeah, just another crusade
Just another holy avenger
Just another terrorist made
It’s just another holy war
Just another city aflame
He’s just another dying victim
In this never ending war game
