The Words That Maketh Murder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen and done things I want to forget
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Blown and shot out beyond belief
Arms and legs were in the trees
I've seen and done things I want to forget
Coming from an unearthly place
Longing to see a woman's face
Instead of the words that gather pace
The words that maketh murder

[Chorus 1]
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
These, these, these are the words
Murder

[Interlude]
(These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder)

[Verse 2]
I've seen and done things I want to forget
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
Climbing behind a fierce, gone sun
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
I've seen flies swarming everyone
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat
These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
These are the words, the words are these

[Chorus 2]
Death lingering and stunk
Flies swarming everyone
Over the whole summit peak
Flesh quivering in the heat
This was something else again
I fear it cannot explain
The words that make, the words that make
Murder

[Outro]
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
What if I take my, what if I take my problem to the United
Nations?
