god and country

i was just a young girl when they sent him off to war

barely even knew what in hell he's fighting for

told me all the stories of a world beyond the world

scaled the tallest mountains

they braved a ragged sea

lost a lot of souls just to set the captives free

may have lost a father but they found a lot of oil

gathered up our gods oh

we gathered up our guns

for the love of country

for our fathers and our sons

he was just a young man when they sent him off to war

barely even knew what in hell he's fighting for

the battle for the land with the strangers from the east

descending from the mountains and rising from the sea

monsters came with vengeance and took my son from me

you can take my money

take my land

but not my son

gathered up our god oh we gathered up our guns

for the love of country

for our fathers and our sons

lost a lot of souls

stained the killing ground with blood

lord knows we won't stop the fight until the battle's won

god we love our god

oh god we love our guns

for the love of country

for our fathers and our sons

lost a lot of souls

stained the killing ground with blood

lord knows we won't stop the fight until the battle's won

those who live by the gun

live by the gun

die by the gun

those who live by the gun

live by the gun

die by the gun
