Fire in the sky

Out of the blue

And into the red depths,

Time for you and I

To try and fall asleep

In the bed they've made us,

All came crumbl'n down

Tears in our eyes

As it rained confusion

The whole world has changed

I don't understand

How one can kill a man

In the name of peace,

That's ridiculous

They say eye for an eye

So they fire from the sky

And they come out of nowhere

Time for you and I

To turn on the big screen

See what's happnen'

And as those children die,

Pawns in the game of

Collateral damage,

The whole world goes mad

Standing here on quick sand,

The more we fight we sink

And vengeance gives us hope,

At least that what we think,

At least that what we think cause

As we make amends by

Getting our revenge,

We sort nothing out,

Just add to the doubt

And with God on both sides,

If death is justified,

Whatever the name,

Then we're all to blame

So as the spirits fly,

To honor those who've past,

We've got to get along,

While the time still last

Bury the hatchet deep

So we all can weep

And heal all this pain

So,so we can live again,

So,so we can live again 'cos

As we make amends by

Getting our revenge,

We sort nothing out,

Just add to the doubt

And God on both sides,

If death is justified,

Whatever the name,

Then we're all to blame

But I don't understand

How one can kill a man

In the name of peace,

That's ridiculous

But I understand

That I will defend

My family from

Both sides of misery
