lyrics

Don't show me everything
You claim you've built
Just show me all the hearts you've broken
And show me all
The lives you've taken
All in the name of peace

Can you see the suffering
Can't you see the sorrow in the eyes
Of those you claim to serve
Time to pull out all the stops
Time to show we won't sit back
While despots running rampart run the world

And for what cause?
And for what banner do they serve?
Their people or their throne
The dollar or the flag
It's all the same
It's all a ruse to get blind loyalty
Out of the wreckage of their wars
(All for a nation of self-destruction)

It's time to say, it's time to mean
We'll make a stand but to no flag
It's killing us

Before we fight your wars
We've got to know the truth
Are we really altogether moving forward?
We know we can't go back

We can't go back to the way we lived before
Ignorance blinds - nativist lies

Now we're waiting for the end
Still we wait for another day to become whole again
It's all a lie

Resist their lies, take heart
You're not the only one who knows the truth

Go ahead, make your stand, raise your hand
Else we see we've become self-enslaved

This grand scheme
It'll end
It'll all end

Oh it's all so hard to picture
The only system you have lived
Split open, inside out
But the day will finally come
Whether any of us wish
Can you see it now

Can you feel the embers burn
Can you taste the smoke and dust
Your precious fortress, crumbled
It'll end
It'll all end
