Shamen War Prayer
Oh lord our God
Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our
shells
Help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms
of the dead
Help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks
of the wounded
Writhing in pain
A prayer for war, a prayer for war
A prayer for war, a prayer for war
Oh lord our God
Help us to waste their humble homes in a hurricane of
fire
Help us to wring the unoffending hearts of their widows
with grief
Help us to turn them out with their children to wander
the waste
Of their desolated land
A prayer for war, a prayer for war
A prayer for war, a prayer for war
We beseech thee o worthy lord
Blast their hopes and black the lines on their bitter
pilgrimage
Make heavy their steps and water their way with tears my
Lord
Stain the white snow with the blood of the woundeds' feet
my Lord
And we ask it in the spirit of war
