The Price Of War

Pray for peace in the midst of war The end seems so far away Hate lays thick like night fog We fight for the land for the hogs For the oil for the gold Humanity lost with the innocence Burning the blood candle at both endS Ones win is another's end Sin justified in the name of peace and order Creating chaos to prevent anarchy Pledge allegiance to the monarchy The weight of hypocrisy lies heavy on those at the bottom of the hierarchy Blood for profit there's no fair exchange The pawns pay the price of war Protect the dream at all costs Cut the check mate Scars of the soul inflicted with every trigger pull Spirit lost being led into the darkness By those we follow with hollow caves behind their gaze No remorse resides in those who craft the agenda Push for control peddling religion The reason behind it all In the names of our deities we slaughter whom who opposes Bomb in the name of Allah, murder in the name of Jesus amen Sacrifice the men baptized in fire Clutching the cold steel Break their minds and impose your will Will it ever end or is it our nature Doomed to repeat history forever Could we be fated to extinction By machines of our creation
