[length: 09:23]
[00:20.03]Tell you a thing
[00:22.31]That you ought to know
[00:24.97]Two minutes of your time
[00:27.22]Then on you go
[00:29.93]Tell tale of the men
[00:32.44]All dressed in black
[00:34.79]That most of them
[00:37.35]Not coming back
[00:40.09]Sent off to the war
[00:42.24]To play little games
[00:45.29]And on their return
[00:47.47]Can’t name no names
[00:50.18]Some strange yellow gas
[00:52.58]Has played with their minds
[00:55.00]Has reddened their eyes
[00:57.63]Removed all the lies
[01:00.07]And strange as it sounds
[01:02.66]Death knows no bounds
[01:04.97]How many get well
[01:07.51]Only time will tell
[01:11.61]
[01:27.44]Only time will tell
[01:33.44]
[03:21.42]You lie in your death bed now
[03:23.97]But what did you bring to the table
[03:26.81]Brought us only holy sin
[03:29.35]Utter trust is a deadly thing
[03:32.28]To the prayer of holy peace
[03:34.93]We didn’t know what was lying underneath
[03:37.89]So how could we be such fools
[03:40.35]And to think that we thought you the answer
[03:44.56]I can’t begin to understand in all the lies
[03:49.81]But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes
[03:55.68]Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
[04:00.77]It really makes sense I can see it clearly now
[04:04.99]Tangled up in a web of lies
[04:07.51]Could have been a way to prophesise
[04:10.50]Unaware of the consequence
[04:13.12]Not aware of the secrets that you kept
[04:15.59]Nothing that we could believe
[04:18.56]To reveal the façade of faceless men
[04:21.32]Not a thing that we could foresee
[04:23.93]Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
[04:27.55]You had us all strung out with
[04:29.80]Promises of peace
[04:33.31]But all along you cover plan was to deceive
[04:38.75]Can it put to rights now only time will tell
[04:43.90]Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well
[04:47.84]Left to all our golden sons
[04:50.22]All to pick up on the peace
[04:53.17]You could have given all of them
[04:55.72]A little chance… at least
[04:58.33]Take the world to a better place
[05:00.82]Given them all just a little hope
[05:03.74]Just think what a legacy
[05:06.11]You now… will leave
[05:12.11]
[06:43.04]We seem destined to live in fear
[06:45.68]And some that would say Armageddon is near
[06:49.70]But where there’s a life – well there’s hope
[06:52.18]That man won’t self destruct
[06:55.98]Why can’t we treat our fellow man
[06:58.45]With more respect and a shake of their hands
[07:02.44]But anger and loathing is rife
[07:04.79]The death on all sides is
[07:06.74]Becoming a way of life
[07:08.81]We live in an uncertain world
[07:11.19]Fear, understanding and ignorance
[07:13.85]Is leading to death
[07:15.42]Only the corpses are left
[07:17.92]For vultures that prey on their bones
[07:22.92]
[07:34.74]But some are just not wanting peace
[07:37.48]Their whole life is death and misery
[07:41.24]The only thing that they know
[07:43.78]Fight fire with fire life is cheap
[07:47.84]But if they do stop to think
[07:50.24]That man is teetering right on the brink
[07:53.89]But do you think that they care
[07:56.39]They benefit from death and pain and despair
[07:59.39]
