lyrics

I can't believe what I learned today
Seems like this peace aspiring world I knew
Is tired of being that way

A crazy man
is offering the world his madness
Along with hatred and power comes
The prophesied anti-Christ

What a perfect timing
For blood thirsty fanatics
As our society is filled
With young, wild and angry worthless men
Who could be fighting soon enough
In the name of honour and freedom

Coming from a nice place
Where nobody's really mean
Where national security's only for ice storms
Never really cared for
But the cloud is growing fast
And light's so precious to me
So is my destiny...

Should I run to the woods?
Let the train cut my legs?
Say goodbye to the goods for me
In the name of a cause way beyond
My control and concept of evolution

Always tried not to be
Some nameless number acting unconsciously
Couldn't stand to renounce to myself
And wear that number on my chest
And let them ship my body-bag home

And as the world's frustration finally unleashed
As we mourn our brother's loss
In this futile search for power
Long after the pain is temporarily relieved
We will still be facing one another

And as the last child will rise from the ashes
As he'll look around to wave the body-bags
One last goodbye
Long after the tears had grown into flowers
He will still be facing someone someday...

A single man without children
First sacrifice to conscription
Only facing one side of the picture

Am I the only man?
Deeply feeling love for life
and living my life in love?

Now that as a man you can cry
Could you stand to turn back time?
To live and die on a battlefield...
