Europa by Globus

I recently heard this song for the first time a few days ago-I like it.

Lyrics:
From Agincourt to Waterloo
Poitiers and then Anjou
The Roses War, the Hundred Years
Through battlefields of blood and tears
From Bosworth Field to Pointe Du Hoc
Stalingrad and the siege of York
The bloody turf of Gallipoli
Had no effect on the killing spree
Bannockburn to Austerlitz
The fall of France and the German Blitz
The cruelest of atrocities
Europa's blood is borne of these

Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love, heaven help us

Bolsheviks and feudal lords
Chivalry to civil wars
Fascist rule and genocide
Now we face the rising tide
Of new crusades, religious wars
Insurgents imported to our shores
To western world, gripped in fear
The mother of all battles here

Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love, heaven help us
Avant hier, avons etre
Deja demain, (nous) sommes eclairee

All glory, all honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us

Empires built and nations burned
Mass graves remain unturned
Decendants of the dispossessed
Return with bombs strapped to their chests
There's hate for life and death in hate
Emerging from a new caliphate
The victors of this war on fear
Will rule for the next thousand years

All glory, all honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us

Europa, Europa
Find better days before us
In kindness, in spirit
Lead us to a greater calling

Leningrad, Berlin Wall
March on Rome, Bzyantium's Fall
Lightning War, Dresden Night
Drop a bomb, end this fight
NEVER AGAIN!
I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but it sounds like a very pro-Europe/Western and anti-Muzzie terrorist song. Any of you more culturally diverse forumites heard of these guys before?

Never heard of them before, but I found this:
Globus is the commercial name of a mix of producers, musicians and vocalists from the prominent movie trailer music production company Immediate Music. The lead composers are Yoav Goren and Jeffrey Fayman.
Immediate music is apparently an L.A. based company.
Immediate Music is a music composition company based in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, that is notable for providing a specialized library of high-end trailer music for commercial motion pictures.
Globus website is here

I thought it might be interesting to find out who wrote the text to "Europa", but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere. The one thing that strikes me is that it's "Europa" and not "Europe", which would make more sense in English. I cant help but wonder why they did that, and if they had a deeper meaning with it.

Perhaps Europa is for cadence only?

europa is the official website of the European Union.

This I posit that they are talking about (the consolidated into one nation) Europe.

According to the Greek legend, Europa was a Phonecian princess whom Zeus, in the form of a white bull, seduced. He carried her away to Crete, where she became queen. Der Spiegel almost got it right, except the bull should be white.

That doesn't speak to the minority, undervoiced cultures within the parameters of the continental millieu.

Clearly this bull is taking this shamelessly underdressed harlot to be stoned to death in accordance to the wholly legitimate decisions of the completely impartial Sharia court system.
