Got no ideas? Just read some book

I’m reading “Shantaram” by G.D.Roberts at the moment and have come to the part that takes place in Afghanistan. The mad man who guides the group of gun runners across the border from Pakistan has lost his family during a Russian nerve gas attack. (The book is biographical - strongly recommended reading). This particular part I'm referring to - starting from page 687 of the paperback version - inspired the following song/text. I looked up rhymes every once in a while and shifted a few lines here and there. Otherwise it was a pretty quick job. It's angry, for sure, I consider it an anti-war/anti-violence song nonetheless. Suitable for hard rock, I'd say:

yellow rain
and a lethal gas cloud
dumped over your village
wiping it out

not a single creature
survived the attack
there was no future
and no turning back

[instr. interlude]

coming back from your misson
you've witnessed the scene
nothing unproved
nothing unseen

dead infants, wrenched bodies
frozen in pain
the sight of the carnage
burned into your brain

now they fear you
they won't come close
your raging madness
your vacant stare
lunatic violence
that still glows
and your tension
are hard to bear

since you have sworn
to pay them back

pay them back
don't show mercy
pay them back
be sly and nasty
pay them back
surprise the enemy
pay them back

[solo]

the visions will haunt you
till your last breath
till then you won't cease
in your mission of wrath

and they fear you
they won't come close
your raging madness
your vacant stare
lunatic violence
that still glows
and your tension
are hard to bear

since you have sworn
to pay them back

pay them back
don't show mercy
pay them back
be sly and nasty
pay them back
surprise the enemy
pay them back
