Afraid to Shoot Strangers lyrics

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow

But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now

Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead

The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time

Are we partners in crime?

When it comes to the time

We'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's to be done

Thy Kingdom come

Thy shall be done... on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go

Should we live and let live

Forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way?

The reign of terror corruption must end

And we know deep down there's no other way

No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers

Afraid to shoot strangers.
