You'd better watch your step
'Cause God is on their side
A thousand years of hatred
No wars can decide
And by the sword of Allah
They have sworn to shed
Blood on the sand
And by these occidental shores
We spend our days
With nothing left to die for
We are easy prey
Blood on the sand
The cry to the faithful who kneel
So blind in their search to reveal
There's so much more in your heart
Just be sure when you tear it apart
The faithful gather round
The fountain's crimson red
A cry for vengeance sounds
Hands beat against their heads
Blood on the sand
A cry to the people who feel
So right in their passionate zeal
There's so much more in your heart
Just be sure you don't tear it apart
So many people underneath one sky
Can't live together, ask myself why
I can't believe all our chances have gone
There is one solution
We've got to live together as one
Blood on the sand
A cry to the fatherless sons
No more lies, no more wars to be won
There's so much more in your heart
Just be sure you don't tear it apart
No more blood on the sand
No more blood on the sand
Blood on the sand
Blood on the sand
