Brother to brother

Man to man

Nation to nation

We enter the age of...Crime


I see the shadows of the rising sun

I stand aside as the deed is done

And I have wandered through the darkest nights

To see the coming of the Israelites


And I have walked across the waters

To hear the voices of the battle song

And I have coveted the daughters

Of the women of Babylon


And I have seen them fall

Without emotion

And I have tasted wealth

God knows it's a crime


I see religion cut a land in two

I turned away as the violence grew

I saw a man reach for the stars

As hunger raged down in Africa


And I have walked across the waters

To hear the voices of the battle song

And I have coveted the daughters

Of the women of Babylon


And I have seen them fall

Without emotion

And I have tasted wealth

God knows it's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime


I am the soldier of a hundred shores

I bear the scars of a thousand wars

I was the child who cried alone

I am the seed that you have sown


And I have walked across the waters

To hear the voices of the battle song

And I have coveted the daughters

Of the women of Babylon


And I have seen them fall

Without emotion

And I have heard the call

Without devotion

And I have tasted wealth

God knows it's a crime


It's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime

It's a crime

The Perfect Crime
