The soldiers of Islam are loading their guns
They're getting ready
But the Russian tanks are mowing them down
They're getting ready
There's children in Africa with Tommy Guns
Getting ready
While the Islam armies are beckoning on
Getting ready *
As always, our thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims caught in the middle of this terrible conflict in the Middle East. As with Russia and Ukraine, we pray for an end to the violence and a just and lasting peace, no matter how unlikely. As for choosing sides in the conflict, we choose our own. To hell with the warmongers in Washington and their media hawks, we feel no obligation to get entangled in yet another foreign blood feud.
There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down *
“Let dog eat dog and the devil take the hindmost,” we say. We see no need to partake in the bloodletting. Neither the zionists or islamists are our friends, and both have a penchant for atrocities and targeting innocent civilians. This is not our fight and we owe them nothing.
While the heads of state are having their fun
Are they ready?
We're looking at the world through a barrel of a gun
Are we ready?
You stand there beating on your little war drum
Are you ready?
And it won't be long before your time has come
Are you ready? *
Quite frankly our loyalty and duty is to our side (Christendom) and we’re more concerned about our own interests. Any and all aid should be used to protect Christian minorities and our Holy Places. Charity begins at home. If our mutual interest overlap, so be it, otherwise...
Well, I don't know what it is but I feel something coming
Stuck in the middle of the Yankees and the Russians
So pull back the hands tonight
'Cause bye bye planet let alone your nation—warhead, warhead, warhead... *
Ever cynical, we expect the powers that be to continue to wage their perpetual wars for power and profits. Instead of risking lives and squandering billions of dollars on foreign powers that work against us, we demand that those resources be used for our own welfare, beginning with protecting our borders, improving our infrastructures and economies, fighting escalating street violence in our cities, and ruthlessly punishing government corruption in our capitals.
~ Giovanni di Napoli, October 10th, The Feast of St. Francis Borgia
