"Foreigner's God"

She moved with shameless wonder

The perfect creature rarely seen

Since some liar brought the thunder

When the land was godless and free

Her eyes look sharp and steady

Into the empty parts of me

But still my heart is heavy

With the hate of some other man's beliefs

Always a well dressed fraud

Who wouldn't spare the rod

Never for me

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

The purest expression of grief

Wondering who I copy

Mustering some tender charm

She feels no control of her body

She feels no safety in my arms

I've no language left to say it

But all I do is quake to her

Breaking if I try convey it

The broken love I make to her

All that I've been taught

And every word I've got

Is foreign to me

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

The purest expression of grief

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

The purest expression of grief

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

Screaming the name of a foreigner's God

The purest expression of grief
