To the Suicide Bombers

He said goodbye and kissed his wife,
To disappear into the grave,
Where thoughts of murder led the way--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

He told his god he'd give his life,
That those who sinned he soon would raze,
And save the pure from evil's daze--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

He said a prayer to end the strife,
Hoped he could be truely brave,
As more and more the death he craved--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

He strapped the bombs on in the night,
And told himself his god he saved,
Lining gunpowder in plastic trays--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

And the bus arrived at rising light,
He slipped aboard and lit the flame
Destroying those his heart did blame--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

And the victims never got to fight,
And no last words they got to say,
Their world turned just turned a shade of gray--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

And the yellow bus flew up so high,
Such young lives just thrown away,
Twelve children slaughtered in the fray--
For ninety virgins in paradise.

He said goodbye and kissed his wife,
Swore those children, they would pay--
For ninety virgins in paradise.
