Here's my version of New Model Army's "Killing", adapted for 2024:
It was autumn when they finally came; the law of force
and line upon line of machine upon machine.
Back into the gray wall,
closer to the heart of things, we go β beyond barbed wires stretched against the sky,
Striking back in desperation β Stop the killing!
Youβre reaching out again β Ah! Stop the killing!

That which walks the corridors of power is a virus that mutates;
immune to all resistance, and every turn of history.
And all that will be left is marking names upon debris,
and scrawling in the golden sand before each tide comes rolling in;
Screaming out in desperation β Stop the killing!
Yeah! Striking back again β Stop the killing!
Holding on, and out, forever (yeah!) β Stop the killing!
#NewModelArmy #Killing2024 #FreePalestine #FightTheGenocide @palestine
Raised and bound upon the land, and the everlasting whispers in diamond
through the trees, in the breath of Eden,
Innocent still, by the faith we hold β our time will come!

The wind blows down from Betlehem, through to Khan Younis,
and to the East, on this grey and pallid dawn.
The roar from the drones drowning out the noise of poisoned seas; fighters running on the streets, out to meet the coming storm.
Striking back in desperation β Stop the killing!
Yeah! Holding on in desperation β Stop the killing!
Striking back again β Stop the killing!

Letβs remake βKillingβ by New Model Army, mkay? I changed the text a bit, but just by the most minute amount.
(yeah, due to limitations, the rest comes in the replies)
