War

There’s a war being fought out there
An they ain´t lookin for your blood or your soul
They ain´t being nice or attentive
All they’re cravin for is your gold
The arena is worthy of Dante
The actors-a ship of fools
The rats haven’t left, they’re our leaders
Inferno is here, created with our own tools.
God left the stage a long time ago
He got sick of the gallopin greed
No ones askin him for salvation
It’s the oil wells hat we need
Our life has been set onto random
Big Brother has thrown out his net
Caught in a web of corruption
We’re all headin for the final train wreck

Pull the breaks man, blow the horn
Stop pourin water in his face
The fabric of truth’s been torn
We’re way past redemption
We can’t hold the pace
Cease the slaughter so we can live in grace
The small man searches for stardom
In cheap entertainment and gab
Unaware that the hollow persuasion
robs him of the dreams he had
It’s lies they are selling for wisdom
And sadness will be their reward
There won’t be no heaven or virgins
In a world that lives by the sword
They are calling monsters to help us
To save money instead of our souls
But what will we do when we’ve lost them
And all that is left is a black hole
The easy way out is a closed door
And knockin won’t open the lock
In this war all will be defeated
Even the victors, united in bloodstocks

When all is gone and we ‘re left standing
In the ashes and the dust
Will it have been worth the effort
To destroy the treasures we were entrusted?
When there’s nothing left to fight for
Will we seethe things that we lost?
Or will we be left standing in the desert
Of our souls not realizing the costs?
