One
Imagine down the street on an average day The suns out, and a warm breeze your way You witness children play as you walk towards the store, you just need to a quick chore So feet rapidly beat across the concrete floor You approach the market door, but suddenly 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 life have you felt such pain You fathom what is going on You look around you but your world is Never did such chaos encompass existence Smoke and fill the air the floor is stained in blood from severed limbs So many dead lay all you You look to the sky and wonder how horror found you And why someone would kill such innocent people the astounds you Then you try to get up but the ground you You lift your head to find legs are gone And the rest of your is so damaged you wonder how you're holding on And you soon realize you never may have again And to your family and you'll never get to say goodbye So you start to cry as you die on this cold hard The piercing ringing of your hopes and dreams will be the last sound As you your final breath the sharpest pain emanates from your core And you Ask For?
(Melodic Interlude)
Why are we killing so many day the news is the same nightmare but a sequel We are all But who of us to see it? Religions tell us to be 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 entire to war only creates oppression And oppression, has been proven To bring more war So as we continue to each other I ask What For?

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