One
Imagine down the street on an average day The suns out, and a warm breeze blows way You witness children as you walk towards the store, you just need to finish a quick chore So many feet rapidly beat across the concrete You soon approach the market door, but you feel a searing fire melt your skin And then you hear a pop so loud that a roaring sound pierces your brain Never in your life you felt such pain You couldn't what is going on You look around you but your world is did such chaos encompass your existence Smoke and fill the air Everywhere the floor is in blood from severed limbs So dead lay all around you You to the sky and wonder how such horror found you And why someone would kill such innocent the reality astounds you Then you try to get up but the bounds you You lift head to find your legs are gone And the rest of body is so damaged you wonder how you're holding on And you realize you never may have love again And to your family and you'll never get to say goodbye So you start to cry as you die on cold hard ground The piercing of your vanishing hopes and dreams will be the last sound As you take your breath the sharpest pain emanates from your core And you Ask What
(Melodic Interlude)
Why are we so many people? Every day the news is the same nightmare but a We are all But who of us to see it? Religions us to be good but who of us want to be it? Am I the one that sees it? That these cannot bring peace That the subjugation of an nation to war only creates oppression And oppression, has historically proven To only more war So as we continue to kill each other I ask For?

Its written within the do not kill disbelievers, Let them be, and Coexist in Peace Jesus said love your enemies and it's written within the Torah that shall not kill why in the name of religion does so much innocent blood spill? What must it be, is misinterpretation the key? Because I hope we see its religions that created to decree Peaceful notions to bring unity Not conflict that will never set us free Creating and repeating more and more If we just our eyes we will see The that has been havocked from city to city So dead as though it seem this bloodshed is endless How can it not be evident taking loved ones is senseless Taking people's Right to Live, Right to And enforcing systems through violence Trying to force into silence Will only hatred and oppression And without the proper treatment and rights people will organize fights to in freedom Rather than die in Therefore the Blood we spill will quickly spark more war And is that really religion is for? A never ending cycle of Or is there something Are religious struggles really never ending struggles death? Or are they battles of the mind? Struggles to knowledge and wisdom for that is the only way we will not fall behind That is the only interpretation of religion that can bring And as before Religions were created to bring peace not war So as we to kill each other I ask What For?
(Chorus Repeat)
Third
From Syria to Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Turkey and So more Oppressive have repeatedly cause uprisings and war So I ask For? Are we to continue to ignore history? we keep on repeating the past and that's no mystery So I want to say this to be, Clear History has shown people will revolt tactics based upon Fear People would rather die for Freedom Than live under So must stop the aggression and either be for the people By the people, or Be Because we need a caring government for us all to get along And governments; should people be wrong? Don't you all to feel like your efforts have made a difference? Instead of spending your whole repeating the same problems that have been there since your birth Don't you all want to feel like something has actually changed since you entered earth? Because that is exactly what you feel when you choose to help people out And the great rate of infinitesimal change that arise from it will prove to you what life is all about But there is no That without change every one of you oppressive will continue to fall And these senseless battles will continue to re-upload and So let us unite and stop senseless wars for us all anymore die Before hundreds of thousands more lives are Wasted upon of building and streets Wasted over Power and Greed Wasted fighting tears Wasted in in misinterpreted religion Wasted not making a And In Oppression So let us Stop the Aggression we repeat the same mistakes anymore And ask
