Authority Zero - A Thousand Years of War lyrics

rate me

Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn

A decade passes by it's just the calm before the storm

An age-old situation that it seems may never end

Round and round we go and round and round we go again

What we see hides out in the grotto

What we do comes back around to follow

All these things, when will we see?

It's pouring out of the lands

In a thousand years of war

A thousand lives are torn

A thousand bullets hit the ground

A thousand mothers mourn

The glass if half empty and the barrels half full

The aristocracy paid by the death toll

And both sides still rockin' their beliefs

The crooked politicians and the fucked up police

From this worldly hell I need a release

I can't believe they all died for a little grease

Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn

But history has proven that it's just the calm before the storm

Something's gone on for way too long and that's one thing for sure

A constant game of tug o' war

I'm asking what's it all for?

A thousand years of war

Can you tell me who wins a war?

And what's the outcome in the end?

It's not a fairytale ending paved with happiness and joy

We've got another thing coming

What's it for? Tells the fate of our tomorrow

What's the score? Another round is sure to follow

As for the innocent standing out in the streets

Take cover, it's another dead end

Lines in sand, lies and demands

You think you see it coming

Got another thing comin'

Take cover it's another dead end

(Round and around and around we go)

Pandemonium, confusion, hysteria, when's it going to end?

Stop all the fighting and stop all the war

Stop all the fighting it's kind of hard to ignore

Stop all the fighting can't you see its dead end?

Can you see its dead end?
