Amalekite

Read 1 Samuel 15 in one sitting, then come tell me about mercy. They call it holy war like the adjective fixes the noun. If that's holy, I want no part of holy. This one puts Him on trial.

If your God were mine He'd be on trial We'd call Him witness Would He confess to His misdeeds Even in riddles Or would He claim that He was misquoted Or would He blame the other unholy prophets Well If that's holy I want no part of holy You called the slaughter mercy and damned a people Well If that's holy I want no part of holy I want no part of holy You wrote your manifest and called it scripture You blessed the kingdom's rise Ordained its ministers They followed your instructions Murdered their infants And now you claim it's righteous to erase a people Well If that's holy I want no part of holy You called the slaughter mercy and damned a people Well If that's holy I want no part of holy Well If that's holy I want no part of holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy
