Lyrics
Prophets Of War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accepted as the truth
Debate this fight it's just cause
The facts do not supports theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change
Intrigued
Got your attention - Deceived
Since the inception - Our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right what they have wronged
See you swear
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
