Righteous Land

We were blinded by that infinite burning light,
glory stood in the way of many men that night.
A ribbon for service and a ribbon for bravery,
then he'll honour your name and sit you down on one knee.

Just to say,
It took years of experience for each notch on my belt,
and they're the souls that I've delivered to the Holiness Himself.
He said, here you are son, here's your pass
as you enter now to the righteous land.

To think that a mother's prayers involve her son and a war
I think all you hot headed soldiers forgot what you were fighting for.
A ribbon for service and a ribbon for bravery,
then he'll honour your name and sit you down on one knee.

Just to say,
It took years of experience for each notch on my belt,
and they're the souls that I've delivered to the Holiness Himself.
He said, here you are son, here's your pass
as you enter now to the righteous land.

And if I had the balls I'd say it to his face
that I don't believe in this institution, this God or this place.
 And I said,
noway will I ever go there I don't know, when I will be home again.

We were blinded by that infinite burning light,
glory stood in the way of many men that night.
