Salt Of The Earth (another Man's Poison) Lyrics - Skyclad

Out of the East a prince shall rise 

To summon fire from the skies. 

I'm lord of this wasteland - where my word is law 

My bedfellows pestilence, famine and war 

Turn children to orphans - make wives into widows 

Then laugh at your plight behind bullet-proof windows 

With swords made of "Black Gold" the world is my whore 

I've all you could wish for yet still I want more. 

Out of the East the prince shall rise.

Taylor Swift's New Song Is 'Gorgeous' 

Linkin Park's Carpool Karaoke Episode is Released With the Blessing of Chester Bennington's Family 

They are the victims (the ones who survived) 

To bury their families along with their pride 

Forgotten, forsaken, defenceless and lost 

They count their blessings whilst counting the cost. 

All they can do is pray that his greed shall destroy him 

But meanwhile they choke on another man's poison. 

Should we turn our cheeks so the mad and the twisted 

May strike us again 'cus we never resisted? 

They'll slaughter our allies - invade all our neighbours 

Then when they come here there'll be none left to save us...

Then we'll be the victims - the ones who must fight 

Bury our families and our human rights 

To the hands of a madman all liberty lost 

He'll reap the rewards while The Earth pays the cost 

Spill oil on troubled waters - believe yourself divine 

By calling it an "act of war" you cover up the crime.
