Your Children Will Burn
Unleashed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Religious filth, spreading like the plague
Bombs and prayers
The damage you've done, will not be gone
In a thousand years
The world will be mine again
I will bring you
Destruction,hatred and terror
You will bleed for me
Destruction,hatred and terror
You children will burn
I laugh at your faith, you are all the same
Maggots of God
Prophets and priests, and their fascist beliefs
Will be torn apart
The world will be mine again
I will bring you
Destruction,hatred and terror
You will bleed for me
Destruction,hatred and terror
You children will burn
