lyrics

Resolution Oil

Framed by a window sits a mother and her child
Her hair is graying and her hands are wrung with sorrow
A waiting game - she played it dignified and proud
But in her heart there’s one beat missing - beaten, borrowed.

“Oh no, not my love” she cried
“don’t go - the world is cruel -
now there’s a letter on the table, and a knock on the door.”

“Let’s go to war” they cried a bunch of salty lads
“We’ll keep good brotherhood, and faith it will protect us.
Let’s take no prisoners of men with bloodied hands
Out Christian values are the things that will endear us.”

Oh no, not for God they died,
for war - damn brotherhood
It doesn’t matter who you pray to, there’s a knock on the door.

Framed by a blackened ruin stabbing at the sun
Here sits a mother, silent, in her arms a child, dead.
Killed by United Nations resolution oil
killed by young angry men with badges buttons God sent.
Where blood ran red it now flows bilious and green
and in the killing fields of oil the dogs of war cry,
“drill to the depths of hell, down through rotten seam
drill to the rotten core until we’ve bled ‘em all dry”

“Oh no, not for oil” they lied -
“for peace” - damn hypocrites
It doesn’t matter who you pray to, there’s a knock on the door.
