Scream rings out on the river

though it was june their mood was grave

rain made ’em all shiver

as they came down on a blue wave

the crowd had floundered like dogs gone astray

fleeing the killers from Italy

the drama starts in an interesting way

shit’s turned round – it’s their litany.

The rumble that keeps growin’ rmer

that’s history knockin’, angry and vicious

can you all hear the guttural murmur?

that’s justice callin’, oh so malicious

this monstrous machine works without recess

a ten-ton hammer smashin’ the stones

the deafenin’ grate of a gluttonous press

we will all watch it grindin’ your bones

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

and back, and back.

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

and back, and back.

When business is done by the powers that be

regular people are treated like cattle

driven through snow straight to the east

that’s where they fight their final battle

how many times did i see you out there?

how many times did i see you out there?

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

and back, and back.

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

and back, and back.

How many times did i see you out there ??

the place where all the scenes are gory

dustbin of history where nothing is fair

this march will not ever end in glory

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

from hell to the promised land

through hell to the promised land

and back to the promised land

and back to the promised land

and back to the promised land

and back to the promised land.^[1]
