Afghanistan your taking our youth
To a far away land away from home
To fight your battles and care for your weak
Its time for you to stand alone
We want our children home
They travel your roads that to hell
For sake of humanity they stumble and fall
They face the demons that roam your countryside
Where the stench of war fills your nostrils
They suck the blood from their victims
To satisfy their tormented souls
Draining life where ever they go
Just for the mere pleasure of it all
Afghanistan you leave only death and destruction
For the travellers down your path
You feed on the weak and the innocent
leaving orphans in your wake
You say you believe in God
Yet you break his commandments
Thou shall not kill
You speak with a tongue of a serpent
Poisonist venom spew out
Morals you have none
Afghanistan we have taken all we can
We gave you our best
Our flesh and blood
Its fruitless to go on
We want our children
home where they belong
