Oh Lord Jesus, come down from your cross
See what's going on, see what's going on
And meanwhile your land is getting lost
Take your brother home, he is dead and gone
The house is burning, the man stopped turning
Compromising, paralysing, what a drag
He has held his hand wide open
But his neighbor left it out
Long forgotten wounds break open
I can't help you watching out
I have seen no sign of life
Hey, you soldier, spare your sister's life
Don't turn out the light, don't you be afraid
Don't leave this land mine here in our street
This is not a job, killing people's not a job
Man is burning, the world stopped turning
Terrorizing, compromising not at all
He has held his hand wide open
But his neighbor left it out
Long forgotten scars break open
I can't help you watching out
I have seen no sign of life
