Lyrics
LAST CONFESSION
Jesus, this is my last confession
I been fighting your holy war
Do I get my place in heaven?
Aint that what I've been killing for?
First town was small, all the men were gone
Well it didn't take long with a nepalm bomb
And the morning sun burned the tears from my face
I felt strong
Cos you were in my place
Jesus, this is my last confession etc
Next city was gone with disrespect and hate
Well I put down the bomb in a shopping arcade
And your love and grace took away my pain
I felt safe
Cos you were in my place
Jesus, this is my last confession etc
God blesses me with my life today
And all the people I'll kill are the only way
Into heaven, and a life renewed
Let me stay
I did it all for you, jesus, mohammed, I did it all for you
