Another Casualty of War

I awoke from a dream to face the world of man
I remember what I heard from the night before
Told me to help make the world a better place
Do what I can
Take a stand
Before I return to grains of sand
Just take a look at the world of man
Couldnt believe what I saw before me
What lay in front of me
legions of people fighting
for petty needs, for petty greed
in the name of a queen
in the name of a machine
Were gonna make this world clean
One to three minor indifferences spark
a war to rid a land of one race
but instead simply destroyed the place
everyone looks the same in the dark
Fifty thousand different armies say the same thing
"We got god on our side, we are in the right!"
Fifty thousand kings believe they go forth with angel wings
They all believe in the same God in spite
of what he teaches, what he stands for
Would he really appreciate all this death and gore?
Back on the homefront things look mighty grim
The men in charge just take it in stride
Put the world on a spin
What about all the soldiers whove died
for a cause that is lost and its truth denied
so that men with power look better after theyve lied
to a land and its people who remember the fights of the past
that were never supposed to last
as long they did
you went to war
even if you're just a kid
but they tore
down the walls of your mind
and tell you they were being just and kind
But a war no matter how great
cant hide all the problems under wraps
especially with the state
of a world full of traps
where governments listen to the status quo
not the status woes
The woes of the many
that collapse and crush the woes of the few
who spew lies and exaggerations
brought to you by the divine imagination
of market research, face value, resale,
wholesale, dont believe in no sale
everyone and everything has a price
A price to pay if you got the right connections
that let you avoid the discretions of a world gone corrupt
please dont let me interrupt your grand scheme for success
and walking over those you would call your friends
who would help you out in the end
