The Gulf

Steve Hackett

You know it's so hard

To be up before dawn

A few seconds' breath

A last cigarette

Execution fever

In a war torn land

Maybe it's the will of the Lord

Or the mind of man



There's been heavy fighting

In the Gulf of Iran

Pour away your whiskey

Or meet the kiss of the lash

Cover up your women

Like it says in the Koran

Maybe it's the will of the Lord

Or the mind of man
