[GOLIATH]
Am I a dog that you should wave a stick?
See how the folly of Israel increases
I'll hack off your head, your arms, your legs, your prick
Leaving the bloody festering pieces
To fowls of the air

[PHILISTINES]
Goliath of Gath

[GOLIATH]
To beasts of the field

Goliath of Gath

[DAVID]
You can hide yourself behind metal
With a javelin, a sword, a coward's shield
But the armor of the godless has to yield to God

I have never yet killed
Any man on this earth
Can imagine no cause
To be worth such a terrible measure
But the blood nevеr spilled
And the deaths nеver seen
In my innocent past do not mean
That if I am the one
Through whom God's will is done that I
Shall not kill, and with pleasure

Here lies the dog that missed a fatal trick
Thus is the folly of Israel refuted
This is the head of the slaughtered heretic
Slimy and severed and perfectly suited

To fowls of the air

[ISRAELITES]
Goliath of Gath

[DAVID]
To beasts of the field

[JOAB]
And two armies were still as they took in the sight
Of destruction, of death and delight
One elated, one shattered
[JOAB & ISRAELITES]
Then from high on a hill
Came a thunderous roar
And the Israelites started to pour
In unstoppable waves
Over Philistine graves-to-be
And the enemy scattered

Saul has chosen well
David our redeemer
Who'd have ever thought Goliath could be slain?

[JOAB]
You can never tell
David did not seem a
Man of such potential but he used his brain

[JOAB & ISRAELITES]
David and King Saul
Hero and supporter
As a team they fought a very great campaign
Finally we've paid for
All the years of pain
Goliath of Gath
Goliath of Gath
Goliath of Gath
