CRIME 


Brother to brother 
Man to man 
Nation to nation 
We enter the age of...Crime 

I see the shadows of the rising sun 
I stand aside as the deed is done 
And I have wandered through the darkest nights 
To see the coming of the Israelites 

And I have walked across the waters 
To hear the voices of the battle song 
And I have coveted the daughters 
Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 
Without emotion 
And I have tasted wealth 
God knows it's a crime 

I see religion cut a land in two 
I turned away as the violence grew 
I saw a man reach for the stars 
As hunger raged down in Africa 

And I have walked across the waters 
To hear the voices of the battle song 
And I have coveted the daughters 
Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 
Without emotion 
And I have tasted wealth 
God knows it's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 

I am the soldier of a hundred shores 
I bear the scars of a thousand wars 
I was the child who cried alone 
I am the seed that you have sown 

And I have walked across the waters 
To hear the voices of the battle song 
And I have coveted the daughters 
Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 
Without emotion 
And I have heard the call 
Without devotion 
And I have tasted wealth 
God knows it's a crime 

It's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 
It's a crime 
The Perfect Crime
