The Savior
Allahu Akbar!
May my instincts explode

These innocent people
forced to prey.

These innocent people
forced to prey.
Allahu Akbar!
May my nerves hold true
as I sprint, as I vault,
upon this empty, screaming man,
his bomb, his unholy eyes.
as I sprint, as I vault,
upon this empty, screaming man,
his bomb, his unholy eyes.
Allahu Akbar!
May my thumbs stab those eyes
through his sockets into his brain.
Before his cries melt to ash.
Before his prayers come alive.

Before his cries melt to ash.
Before his prayers come alive.

Oh, that divine symphony!

May I shield
all his shrapnel,
all his fire.

all his fire.
May I absorb
all his hatred,
all his pain.

all his pain.
May I destroy
that trap inside us,
that fear that keeps us

that fear that keeps us
from knowing we must
