Lyrics
I waited for the news of the latest war dead Missing in action from what I read Forgotten, gone, destroyed in a blast First out on the line, Truth had passed Invention of a tyrant, bold and perverse Authority as truth, rather than the reverse So, where is the outrage? So hard to dismiss! Cruel and unusual, but not like this! Honor gone, silently grieving Defying all logic, blindly believing, My truth, my liberty, you will be missed Cease and desist, then cease to exist So, where is the outrage? So hard to dismiss! Cruel and unusual, but not like this! Dead to us, still, truth remains Unseen to the mind with no visible chains In the wicked web, half the truth lies As we believe the absurd so we commit the disguise Made it a desert , called it peace at last! But there could be no release, for truth had passed Better divided by truth than united in error While making terrror on terror two wrongs in pair If truth so precious, then why guarded by a lie in the rattling of sabers and hysteric war cry Violence conceals a lie and lie kept by the same Rather thatn "peace be with you" a litany inflame O peace! How many wars were waged in thy name? Any excuse serves the unjust without shame There is no way to peace Peace is the way When truth has passed away When the rich wage war, it's the poor who pay when truth has passed, truth has passed away a demon at the helm his minion fool commanding leaves an army of cripples with the thieves still standing Reality distorted by the powerful elite Truth replaced by silence, financial deceit There is no way to peace peace is the way when truth has passed away When the rich wage war, it's the poor who pay when truth has passed, truth has passed away
