Race War

This is the second of three October Noir singles released in 2020.

== Lyrics ==
Black against white
Yellow versus red
The fighting won't stop
Until we're all dead
Burning riots destroy the masses
Nightfall brings death
City reduced to ashes
Don't call me your brother
'Cause I hate your fucking brother
We fell from different cunts
And your skin's an ugly color
Race war
We're going to a Race war
Hate war
We're going to a Hate war
Hate
Prejudicial homicide
Bloodshed, rampage torture is not subsiding
Chaos, bedlam, violent ethnic uprising
Muslims against Christians
And the Arabs versus Jews
The Catholics and Protestants
No one wins we all lose
Race war
We're going to a Race war
Hate war
We're going to a Hate war
Hate
