Bound For Glory - When Nothing Remains lyrics

rate me

Three young dead in an arson attack

Their youthfull life stolen away

It's the same headlines heard so many times before

Why do the innocent have to pay?

Do you think to them religion really mattered

So much that they'd be killing for?

Innocent victims caught in the crossfire

Now casualties of an insane war

How many tears? How much sorrow?

How many hearts are broken?

I keep asking myself why?

How many more treaties, with useless words spoken?

If we don't stop it now

We are all destined to die

Hundreds of years of fratricidal wars

Fighting for ancient lands

Ethnic hatreds reach to extremes

As man kills his fellow man

Brother kills brother on the battlefield

Their blood and destruction feeds the rich

While the ones who finance the slaughter

Escape the blame without a hitch

For how much greed and for how much money

Have we been sold?

At whose expense must we die?

What's to believe when all promises have been broken?

And everything we hear

Is a goddamn lie

I don't see a future on the path we follow

A path plagued by death and pain

Please why can't you tell me who has won

When nothing remains?

Wake up and see, I'm not the enemy

Who has won when nothing remains?

Learn from your history, hate does not kill hate

Who has won when nothing remains?

Why can't you believe, you have so much to learn

Now you've turned your back on where you came from

Do you think there's lessons to be learned

While you sink, nothing remains
