With a widow's mite sittin' in his hand
He wasn't sure what happened
Twas something no one else would understand
He fl ipped the coin down King George street
And as he looked in wonder
The sky, it cracked right open
Twas the sound of rollin' thunder
I saw him by the disco
Talking to somebody at the bar
I saw him by the explosion
As he was walking to his car
In a fl ash the world erupted
Roared with light and shattered glass
People lying everywhere
And other's were just running fast
Come tomorrow, an unanswered prayer
Come tomorrow, will I fi nd you there?
You turn the cheek, and offer up your hand
Cause there's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
Oh-oh, oo
Oh-oh, oo
He wasn't sure just what it was
But as he was moving closer
We noticed he was walking on
The Via Dolorosa
I heard him around the corner
Speaking in some parable decree
AEsau and Jacob are at it again
He said he was looking for a lift
He said to Bethlehem that he was bound
He said he had to see for himself
The kind of shit he heard was going down
On the streets of the city
He saw the carnage that was there
Flesh and sulphur fi lled the air
Come tomorrow a symphony of peace
Come tomorrow when you're on your knees
Cause I'm just looking for to understand
Why there's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
There's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
AListening to bullets talk
Is a language hard to grasp. he said
Var. 1 - We fi ll ourselves with fury
Var. 2 - Tears sound like fury
Var. 3 - Wonder shouts with fury
And we're still walking among the dead
With each loss the collective heart
Gets weaker all the more
Pride's relentless stronghold
Is banished by my father's door
Come tomorrow an unanswered prayer
Come tomorrow will I fi nd you there?
Tearin' down the castles made of sand
Cause there's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
There's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
There's hellfi re tonight, in the Holy Land
Singin' halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
(Repeat to fade)
