After its release a couple of years ago, many people asked me if this was a September the 11th tribute. It was certainly inspired by it, but it isn't as simple as that - it's meant to make people also think about the actions taken in retaliation to those events, and the killing on either side of the ongoing religious conflict.
This isn't one of my personal favourites, but perhaps because of the implied meaning of the song, this was by far my fastest-downloaded song at this time, climbing steadily to be the first to reach over 1500 downloads. It was also entered in to the tracking scene's "Monthly Invitational Compo" ( http://www.novusmusic.org/mic/results.html ), where it came in dead last in tenth place. But I think the invitation at least says something.
It has a slightly more aggressive tone in both the lyrics and music than usual, putting more emphasis on the rhythm guitar instrument.
[Lyrics]
Does it make you feel proud, the blood on your hands
Exacting revenge on the world that you planned
Protecting your people in religion's name
Destroying the others, no remorse or shame
Burn all the heretics, those who stand in your way
Your word is purity, don't let them have their say
The holy book will be your guide
To kill in the name of your god
Does it make you feel brave, with weapon in hand
You're sending your followers to kill on command
Blindly believing, they'll follow you still
The pure will survive, and the rest you will kill
Burn all the heretics, those who stand in your way
Your word is purity, don't let them have their say
The world is divided, and still you want more
This is your holy war
History is doomed to repeat itself again
And each time it happens, we're closer to the end
The holy book will be your guide
To kill in the name of your god
The world is divided, and still you want more
This is your futile holy war
Burn all the heretics, those who stand in your way
Your word is purity, don't let them have their say
The world is divided, and still you want more
This is your holy war
And as the world turns, you'll fight
Always believing you're in the right
Can't you see that you murder, you kill
The holy war continues still
Burn all the heretics, those who stand in your way
Your word is purity, don't let them have their say
The world is divided, and still you want more
This is your futile holy war

That's right, I unfortunately can't play the guitar well enough to actually perform my own songs as yet. If you'd like to have a go at covering it, I'd be happy with that - you can get the .IT file that contains the note information at my music site, http://wired.st-and.ac.uk/~wong/modsite/ if you're interested.
As for the vocals, I've tried a couple of times to fit my own voice to my music and the results have been pretty disastrous. Perhaps learning to use a vocoder is in order.
