DESCRIPTION:
Eternal Dirge - Why have all the children died?

Classic thrash metal from their 1989ev demotape "Right To The Core." Very rare recording in a re-mastered version.

I just want to know
What goes on in your minds
When you're sending them to war
So pure and soon to die
A bandana 'round their head
That says "I kill for Allah!"
A few days later dead
On their lips the cry for momma
The cry of the young souls
Of those who never saw the light
So I just want to know
Why have all the children died?

An MP in twelve years old hands
Fighting a war that never ends
You fight for religion is what they tell you
But you're just cannon-fodder for those that control you

Religion as an excuse for Killing
I want to see those bastards bleeding
Those should die who want to rule the world
And not those innocent twelve year olds

So listen you fuckers in Iran
Justify your actions, if you can
The day will come when you're on your knees
And all the children will cry for peace
From the graves you'll hear them sob
Allah won't help you—there is no god
Beg for mercy, if you dare
There's no vindication, just despair
Those parents who suffered, without exception
Will just ask you one only question,
And then answer, with your gone might
Why have all the children died?
