Lyrics

FROM THE CRATERS TO THE GRAVES - by Sam Baardman

We’ve been dropping leaflets between the bombing raids
Lining streets with paper from the craters to the graves
And there’s dust storms in the desert and the blood’s dried in our veins
Everybody’s helpless, we’ve got nothing left to say

Which came first, your pain or mine?
Both of us cursed, you can see it in our eyes
In the holy heart where hatred hides
Whose sin is worse, and who decides?

This is good for business, Lockheed and CNN
The money falls like rain when you make war that never ends
No one knows what’s waiting out there across the sea
But we will walk on water from Ground Zero to Galilee

Which came first, your pain or mine?
Both of us cursed, you can see it in our eyes
In the holy heart where hatred hides
Whose sin is worse, and who decides?

The radical, and the corporatist, the tyrant and the priest
They’ll feed you crusts of bread and then they’ll swear that it’s a feast
It doesn’t matter who’s the fool who speaks in absolutes
You can find me on the border between both sides of the truth

Which came first, your pain or mine?
Both of us cursed, you can see it in our eyes
In the holy heart where hatred hides
Whose sin is worse, and who decides?

And the messages that rain upon
The frightened heads of everyone
Say this is justice this is freedom
This is liberation marching on

Your pain or mine?
Both of us cursed, you can see it in our eyes
In the holy heart, where hatred hides
Whose sin is worse, and who decides?
Whose sin is worse?
