Half-truths and whole lies Simple words can't justify Another lie Another dies And another mother left to cry Another night Another thousand lives When will we realize War will be our demise? So unfortunate we can't sacrifice our pride Now a land being filled With the innocent blood we spilled What is left to say When the martyrs are left to their graves? No real understanding of What it is they're dying for Freedoms price seems too much to pay Freedom for you and for me Freedom from this awful tyranny Consequently a choice has been made We've paid in full Now we must accept this rising death toll Relative truth has set a barrier down It seems that our hate is our only common ground With words We make sound But no real progress made In this escapade Cultures set worlds apart This has failed from the start Our lack of understanding And respect For those who would choose right to be left Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break A faith only we could break A faith only we could break Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break Our placement has left them faithless A faith only we could break How could we expect them to see Eye to eye When we have them face down On their knees?
