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
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
