Track 3 of 5 from The War For Light Demo

lyrics

The kings rulers and statesmen
Demand my loyalty
But the esteem they hold has not been earned
To justify their power or our suffering

The kings rulers and statesmen
Demand my loyalty
For economic gain, power, and prestige
They destroy the life of the common man

The kings tricked men into becoming mercenaries
A false sense of patriotism the spearhead for their greed

Their wars, we fight their wars
Like my father and grandfather, we do the dying
They never volunteer themselves for their wars
We fight their wars
Like my father and grandfather, we do the dying
They never volunteer their sons

Cannot trust the man that lives to govern other men
There has never been a good war, or a bad peace

The blood is ankle deep
Nothing but blood and teeth

Name me a king that ever left his life on the battlefield
Name me a war ever having been started by the people
