Balkan Falcon -

This is a ballad about the Balkans
But by the time you hear about it
It’s already to late
it was always too late
A few hundred years give or take
It’s all yesterday, if there’s enough hate

Balkan Falcon

Balkan Falcon

This is no falcon
This is no bird
This is the voice of GOD
this is the prophet Elijah

(and his burning book, a flick of his wrist and the turning took)

knight of what kind will you have your kingdom?
knight of what kind will you have in your kingdom?
This is your vision
This is your decision – or isn’t it – is it?

earthly kingdom, heavenly crown
Balkan kingdom falling down
Balkan kingdoms tumbling down

Fuck all the women, Kill all the children
Fuck all the women, Kill all the children
Fuck all the women, Kill all the children
Fuck all the women, Kill all the children

Earthly kingdom, heavenly crown
Balkan kingdom falling down
Balkan kingdoms tumbling down

I’ve been washed, I’ve been cleansed
Ethnically in the blood

I’ve been washed, I’ve been cleansed
I’ve been washed in the blood of the lamb

Earthly kingdom, heavenly crown
Balkan kingdom falling down
Balkan kingdoms tumbling down

(ottoman empire built up higher, ottoman empire built a pyre)
(the voice of GOD for the choice for sod for the choice for GOD for the Voice of GOD)

All the Mountains may rise against us
all the sears may surge around us
all the rocks may fall upon us
but our mountain shall prevail
and our star will shatter and splinter the sky straight into the hands of GOD
