about

Recorded at the Marquee on 14 January 1989, a special concert that featured Brian Devoil on drums!

Originally recorded by Geoff Mann and released on the album 'I May Sing Grace' (1984).

lyrics

John 6:2; Colossians 2:14

Caesars dancing on the brink
Hate the poor because they stink
Kalashnikovs the mullah’s clutch
Killing hands regain their touch
Ignorance and idol fear
States of sin the sick revere
Despair driven from the rear
Hunters hunt the hunted
Glibly stating that it’s all
For God’s sake
Both sides in war for blessings pray
Scatter refugees from fields of play
Financial farmers planting bombs
Crops of death to prove a pointless point
Catholic killers rant and rage
Provo marxmen come of age
Troubles conscience turning page
Dredging obscure scripture
That might justify more murder
For God’s sake
Haunted eyes in bloated skin
Napalm babies weeping waifs of war
Children always suffer most
Innocents exploded into toast
All of us in some way kill
Unless we trust in Heaven’s will
The only victory we need
The three nails Our Lord buried
Namely Pride, Death and Greed
For God’s sake

This is an absolutely fantastic collection featuring near perfect newer run-downs of the Atlantis suite and Wedge tracks (with Rat Racing being my definitive entrance to this period, wonderful) as well as great and heavy concert sessions of The Cross and the Crucible and Sanctuary (personal favourite). My favourite bundle so far. futureperfect93
