Jihad
Closterkeller · Koncert '97 [1997]
Kisses like that turns me to stone
I felt a kiss on my forehad, now I know
Kisses like that freeze me to death
Holy war, holy war pushing hell away
It makes me quiet, lets me lay down
They fight a war for me and every man
Brings me closer to heaven by his death
Hey Allah...
They felt a kiss of their God
And now they know
Kisses like that turn them to stone
They felt a kiss on their forehad
Now they know
Kisses like that freeze to death
And paradise is the only reward
I wait there....
