Prisoner of war, prisoner of love, there's a torch to my head Crimes of passion, crimes of youth, stop the ringing in my head Born again, not born at all, the future is full of smoke Born to lead, the need to think, I grab my lungs and I choke What we take for granted can be taken away and then you ask for more you're still dropping bombs from a plane that went down in the civil war drive the nails, drive them hard, peace turns to war again crown of thorns, crown of peace, political battleship Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end Tell me you believe Let's crown another beauty queen, do you find it so obscene What about the homeless, the starving, the poor, No room for the sick cause the rich want more They lied to us, they lied to them, Breaks my heart inside Took their hope, stole their love, No life left in their eyes I stand on this hill and I scream your name It's something they've tried to erase Some say nothing lasts forever We all run the risk of being lost Some hold on and some never thought to believe We've got to have bigger guns, we've got to find higher suns One day you'll see the truth that you've been running from Tell me you believe, I still believe, I believe in love it's all that we have left
