Shattered lives and broken worlds Pieces of life scattered all around The art of politicians spread their canvas over town Thick lines of red All the lies and promises, the images won't leave their minds The witnesses can't leave it all behind Hearts on fire, burning hot Searching for more blood to feed them With their desire they'd rather not Look for peace while their hatred's breeding Destroy, rebuild It won't bring it back All the life we've killed Back through time in and out of days Fragmented lives seem to waste away The monsters have once again made their mark They paint with thick lines of red (thick lines of red) All the lies and promises, the images won't leave their minds The witnesses can't leave it all behind Hearts on fire, burning hot Searching for more blood to feed them With their desire they'd rather not Look for peace while their hatred's breeding And this will never end until their weapons melt No peaceful ending And we will never see or feel what they felt (It is the people's ultimate responsibility To choose and to act in accordance with that which is helpful to all living things! How much more must so this be the case for our leaders?) We've got the numbers and we're running out of time One voice united can echo through these lines We've got the numbers (we've got the numbers) Running out of time Free at last is what we saw but tonight we had it all Free at last is what we saw but tonight we had it all Destroy, rebuild It won't bring it back All the life we've killed Destroy, rebuild All the life we've killed
