When the bombers are flying in the name of peace
With people hungry when they needn’t be
It’s the demon of greed when selfishness wins
It’s the devil’s moment.
When the innocent die because our cause is right
When fear is alive and cuts like a knife
When unfaithfulness wins and mistrust is alive
It’s the devil’s moment.
An aeroplane against a clear blue sky
Fearfully guided by an evil eye
Both sides of the world so many will die
It’s the devil’s moment.
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
When we turn away and pass on by
Though the cock crow we avert our eyes
When we don’t speak up so the truth dies
It’s the devil’s moment.
They say if a butterfly beats its wings on one side of the world
On the other side a hurricane comes
So if we say a lie on one side of the world
What will happen on the other side?
May the words of my mouth – the thoughts of my heart
Be acceptable in your eyes, O God
Or I co-operate with the darker side, and …
It’s the devil’s moment.
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
