To War lyrics

Lyrics

A nation in turmoil, a city in grief. I can't see the sun for the smoke cloud
Familiar street unrecognizable for the debris. I stumble through destruction
Inside I scream for retribution, to ease the pain and grief I feel

[Chorus]
Some would say that I've lost my way, well what do they know?
I can not tell if I'm lead astray by myself
But when what's sacred to me is brought to it's knees, when they've
Struck at the core of my security; my society, I go to war

Children carrying flags to be placed on their fathers' graves
Starvation and disease is the aftermath, the till, the prices to be pain
For religious and political power games
So what should I do?
Sit in silence as they burn everything I hold true?

[Chorus]

Violence breeds violence, sure, I'm aware of that
But still we carry our predatory genes
Eat or be eaten, kill or get killed-it's the way of the world
But I doubt still as I go to war
Death, burnt flesh is left in my trail. in self-defence I maim
Crawling in me, a leering demon, consuming my humanity
Day by day

In my mind the accusations drone
In my mind I am never alone, never alone
