this is a story that you should know   once upon a time 20 years ago   Shatila & Sabra   your echoes of death   lie buried in rubble   but we won't forget   soldiers are gunning, your blood & your tears   silent with fear as the gunshots near   who'll learn of your fate?   their ain't no escape   loaded on trucks   headed for a mass grave   terror in the streets and shooting all around   they scalp a young child   and castrate a young man   discriminate not these bullets of hate   phalange soldiers excercising their faith   who'll hear your cries in this state of madness   while a TV news crew films you helpless   praying to god in an ungodly land   in this culture of murder   lonely you stand      POP! POP! POP!   the shots ring out   murder them   and bulldoze the house   POP! POP! POP!   the shots ring out   murder them   bring down the house      who'll stop the killing, the dying, the screaming?   zion is watching the horrors unfolding   soldiers and orders   their duty they follow   vengence and bloodshed   is what they will swallow   government minister giving the direction   now the prime minister   no we ain't forgotten   you say that you deny   and hide from these war crimes   wash the blood like herod   just like in the good old times   and we hope you got it coming   cos the guilty's walking free   successful in your lives   crimes against humanity   no arrest, no charge   for these ruthless cold killers   now they're business men   working for U.S. dollars
