lyrics

Another path of war
Another time they fight for peace
This juxtaposition of mind will never align
Until we find our common ground
I can’t believe they think there’s no other way
What happened to “we’re all the same underneath the skin”?

Homicide disguised as justified
Why take another land
It’s just a planet of dirt
Taking the lives of the innocent
To keep on living a lie
And make us powerless

The dissonance between us
It’s an imaginary line
Built from hateful minds
Those jealous of what others have

I can't deal with this anymore
Try to think why
It is not the way
Casualty of war
Heavy lies the crown upon your head
You try to find
A good way to justify
But the numbers just don't add up
You’re taking a thousand just for ten

We won’t last long in this world
If we continue on this path
now is the time to make it right,
Turn it down and you die tonight
Be part of the future
And make a change

What would you see in their eyes
Would you see a child staring back at you

I can't deal with this anymore
Try to think why
It is not the way
Casualty of war
Heavy lies the crown upon your head
You try to find
A good way to justify
But the numbers just don't add up
You’re taking a thousand just for ten

Until we find our common ground
Hold on to what you believe is right
They give bad ideas one after another
Until we find our common ground
Hold on to what you believe is right
Take a moment to change all of this
It’s just an imaginary line
