A prisoner 'till the day I die

Fighting for what's right, not a lie

Opposition fights for what I demise

A black liquid gold which the land provides

Air strikes start, forewarned sight, tracers fill the night

No tree left, warheads dropped, locked on sights

Invisible bombers, rule the sky, sunset to rise

Payloads dropped, radar eyes, succumb all lies

Mist, night air no sign of light

Under cover, war starts tonight.

Fly low, past the border.

Guns blazing, locked on target.

Dive now, go in deep.

A fighting, chance to keep the peace.

When will they see, that victory ain't free.

What they call holy, is a contradiction to me

When will they see, that victory can't be.

We could all die, dying to see.

Controversy, in my homeland

Statistics show support, is that a lie

Media circus televise war cries

For a  heightened rating, must I now die?

Strategic points, superpowers, control our lives

No time left, soldiers buried, deep in sand

Missiles strike, flesh burns, human waste

Beyond recognition, far from home, requiem is played

Morals, what's right in a world untame

Dictators step in to make their claims.

Run fast, take control.

Guns blazing, seize the land.

Dive now, in a pit.

Win or lose, a hero's demand

In live there's strangeness and despair.

There's war around us everywhere.

Predict the future from the pasts, unknowns.

Don't let evil come and rape your home

When will they see, victory ain't free.

What they call holy, is a contradiction to me.

When will they see, that victory can't be

We could all die, dying to see.
