scar spangled banner

• exodus'un tempo of the damned albümünün açılış şarkısıdır.
  
  [music & lyrics (g. holt)]
  
  oh say can you fucking see
  the missiles fall like rain
  bloody mountains majesty
  dead bodies on the plain
  by the bombing's eerie light
  see the crimsons waves of red
  what so proudly they all fell
  the twilight of the dead
  
  [chorus:]
  america - the violent
  the indifferent
  god shit is grace on me
  america - the arrogant
  the belligerent
  will live in infamy
  we the people, for no people
  secure the blessings of tragedy
  do or dain we have enstablished
  the scar spangled banner
  
  [solo - g. holt]
  
  we pledge allegiance to no god
  only to the blood
  liberty is just a dream
  when dying in the mud
  this, the land of the deceived, home of the depraved
  bombs, they drop like falling leaves
  and the deadly flag still waves
  
  [repeat chorus]
  
  red - the beautiful color of blood
  flowing like a stream
  white - the color of bleaching bone
  lovely and obscene
  blue - the bruising color of flesh
  battered, ripped and torn
  the colors of the flag of hate
  of violence and porn
  what you see is what you get
  you haven't see the bloody trail yet
  i'm no patriot, just a hate-triot
  
  blood sport, my sure bet
  see the flag, get a body bag
  salvation form a .44 mag.
  nothing left, no one saved
  cause our goddamn motherfucking bloody ass
  banner still waves
  
  [solo r. hunolt]
  
  sözlerdeki abd eleştirilerine dikkat buyurunuz

  gibi doğrudan hedefe kitlenmiş muhteşem sözlere sahip, bir exodus başyapıtından çıkmış, müziğin olabilecek en agresif hallerinden biri. dinlerken kayıtsız kalmak imkansız.
• aynı albümde war is my sheppard ile nasıl hristiyalığa laf sokuyorsa, scar spangled banner ile de the star spangled bannera, yani amerikan bayrağı/milli marşına gönderme yaparak çocuğu koymuş exodus. şair burada bayrağa seslenmiş yani.
