The Land Of Rape and Honey Lyrics

Face to face
Blood to blood
The mountain
You tumbled from
And in the land of rape and honey
You prey

Step by step
You climb the mountain
You prey

Fist to fist
Eye to eye
The rulers of the wasteland
And in the land of rape and honey
You prey

Step by step
You climb the mountain
You prey

Head to head
Chest to chest
Which country is the very best?
And in the land of rape and honey
You prey

Step by step
You climb the mountain
You prey

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is about nationalism in general... basically how each country sees nationalism as such a good thing yet it is the cause of the majority of wars... like WOrld War 1 was single handedly caused by nationalism... as well as World War 2

Believe it or not, there is an actual "Land of Rape and Honey", and it's in Canada. Tisdale, Saskatchewan, to be specific (oddly enough, the place which inspired Dog River in the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas). "Land of Rape and Honey" is Tisdale's slogan-- the word "rape" referring to the rapeseed crops. Apparently Al Jourgensen saw the slogan on a souvenir mug and was amused by the double meaning of the phrase as a way of describing a supposed paradise on earth.

Finally the first to comment - The land of rape and honey is about Israel or Germany, or both?

There are images of Nazi Germany, is this the hateful Hitler crowd or is this a dark image of what is really behind all forms of nationalism?

Step by Step - Chest to Chest = the goose-stepping soldiers are symmetrically aligned.

You climb the mountain = you try to raise the stature of your race/religion/country.

You Prey = You Pray.
