Asia - Holy War Lyrics






You take the Saracen
Or die by Tamil gun
As long as God is on your side

You'll fight the Goth today,
Or face the trebuchet
For them there is no place to hide

Oh, oh Holy War
Kerak, Hattin, Crécy, Azincourt
Oh, oh Holy War
Sala'houdin, Trojan, Templar or Conquistador

They storm the citadel
To fight the infidel
The Village Green's a bloody sty

God, two kings and a Pope
Could be our only hope
'St George!' will be our battle cry

Oh, oh Holy War
Kerak, Hattin, Crécy, Azincourt
Oh, oh Holy War
Sala'houdin, Trojan, Templar or Conquistador

Oh, oh Holy War

It's what we're fighting for
And is it worth dying for?

Oh, oh Holy War

It's what we're fighting for
And is it worth dying for?

And when the battle line
Becomes a holy shrine, we shout
'God Wills It!' at the city wall

No matter where we go,
One thing I've come to know
Love is love, deep inside us all
Yeah, we want no more

Oh, oh Holy War
Kerak, Hattin, Crécy, Azincourt
Oh, oh Holy War
Sala'houdin, Trojan, Templar or Conquistador

Oh, oh Holy War

It's what we're fighting for
And is it worth dying for?

Oh, oh Holy War

It's what we're fighting for
But is it worth dying for?

Asia Holy War Comments

    Holy War, but let's say it plain: the only militar religion which survives today without barely altering their frontiers (moreover, increasing) is the Islam. The "citadel" was Jerusalem, the most holy of the cities. Of course, not a single word, e. g., about Constantinople. And the infidel is the way Muslims call us. I would respect Islam if it wasn't the loose intepretation of the Ancient Testament which a schizoid man did with the only purpose of violently conquering the world, not to say a word in the way the take women into consideration.
    Finally, although that band sounds brilliantly and respect Wetton (RIP) since King Crimson , Asia is a band, like many others, used by the New World Order (Jews, Masons,. . .) to separate us from the True Religion and our traditions. No more than pure entertainment.

    Hy eieiei ! Man sieht ALLEN an, dass JOHN WETTON auf dem Foto wie im Studio, als sie diese Songs aufnahmen, dass er nicht mehr lange zu leben hat ! Ausser Carl Palme rmachte GUTE MIENE ZU BÖSEM SPIEL und lacht verkrampf ! Was muss wohl in allen 4 los gewesen sein = sehr schlimmes welches am KOMMEN war und UNAUFHALTSAM ! Schreckliche Aufnahme, aber leider Facts ! R-I.P. John Wetton, i dont forget you !

    Fantastic song, and indeed, with a very relevant content, even if it probably wasn't intended that way. But "Holy war", that's exactly how I would call the fight against religious fanatics (or just madmen tout court) of whatever colour or shape of feather who kill off people they don't know nor don't care about in our streets, shops, cafés, restaurants etc. As cochroaches they should perish before they can strike. According to Interpol, 180 possible terrorists, including quite a number of fanatic children are trying to penetrate our "Citadel", ready to cause havoc. And if a non-religious person as me starts using the word "holy", there's defintely something bad going on out there... Brussels, Nice, Paris, London,... Who's next on the list ? But hell, we'll make a strong fist, whatever price to pay, to flatten these cochroaches till the last one !

    B.... V....

    Well said.I totally agree.
