As It Was, As It Soon Shall Be

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.

We didn't pay attention

To lessons learned in the past

Soon the sands in the desert

Will melt from the atomic blast

Mesopotamia's ground zero

For the coming of world war

Thousands die in the sand

And I still don't understand what for

As it was, as it soon shall be

We're teetering on the brink

Of a world war iii

A repetition of history

As you soon shall see

As it was, as it soon shall be

War mongering leader of ours

Waves the flag of democracy

Sending our men out to die

In the name of bureaucracy

The oil fields of iraq

Are overflowing with blood

Another man dies but the lies

Rain down like a flood

No weapons of mass destruction

No threat to me

Just one man's agenda for war,

Not a land of the free

I never gave a shit

About the middle east

But now we lie in the bed that we've

Made, start the atomic feast
