Ramallah
Written March 2006

A love song... from a terrorist to his god, but a love song nonetheless.

All that I have done for you
Has led me to this moment
My devotion you will see
Has been anything but idle
Relentlessly I have pursued
Your grace and acceptance
And now this sacrifice impending
Solidifies my intentions

The chaos I create tonight
Will celebrate your name divine
The heathens who refuse to priase your love
Will come to fear your rage...

To those who criticize my actions
I implore you, please hear me
It is not a choice for us to make
Whose opinions are correct
Judge not, lest ye thine self be judged
I believe it's in your bible
That you ignore this warning would seem to me
A testament to your damnation

The chaos I create tonight
To you considered suicide
It's more than just a sacrifice
I'm giving God the gift of life

(the air I taste tonight I will savour
even if there is a little hell in its flavour)

In ten seconds, the world will worship
And, as my thumb descends, I know
With this station as your altar
I have served you well.
