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
