Maybe it's our destiny
The real truth got lost at sea drowned with The scars of war
Then left to wash ashore
Lights go out through streets and houses
Fallen lives cut like red roses
Fire raging high
Lighting up the sky
People live in fear
As they wait for the "all clear"
Picking up the pieces of their lives

Once in a lifetime
Walking on land mines
Nations step on one another
Detonating all mankind

Pray, pray for better days
New horizons will unfold
And we could live forever
(Forever and ever)
Pray, pray for better days
new beginnings if they wake
will they ever tell?

Sirens sound all through the night
Living underground till morning light
Watching babies born
Waiting for the dawn
Propaganda life is bliss
The future sealed with a crucifix
They said it all before
The politics of war
Leader's drinking wine
The blind leading the blind
Can't remember what they're fighting for

Cities in dust
Memories left there to rust
In hearts and minds they survive
Keeping loved ones alive
No words can express
To describe how desperate
Many had become it
Seemed like an eternity for some
