lyrics

blue as the blood
that is flowing through our veins
from the outside in
we are one and the same
victimized by violence
like a rat in a cage
came a long long way
to start over again

there's no such thing
as borderlines
only these bridges
from yours to mine
light your fire darling
please don’t hide it away

if it takes all I have have
then I don’t wanna be alive
don’t want to be on the side
winning or losing the fight
the history books lied to us
made wrongs out of rights
the heroes were fallen
and hexed by their pride

rolling stones
left petrified
there’s no denial
of the changing tide
you lost the lines
you held inside of your palm

there is no love in holy war
destroy it all to save our mores
money and power are at the root
so many slain in the name of so called truth

it did them no good
to shed all that blood
generations of enemies
face down in the mud
they don’t fight like Ali
they hold a sword or a gun
like cowards they rob
from the innocent ones

all the voices cry in pain
driving down the lost highway
where now only
these roadside memorials remain

a flame like the sun
burns in my heart till dawn
out the boarded up windows
the band marches on
they beheaded the prophets
and gunned the great leaders down
now there’s nobody left
to meet out on the battle ground

head is full of only lies
wrestle with the hands of time
watch that they don’t
make a mime out of you

sacrificial lambs bring holy war
heaven's gate is knocking at death's door
since the beginning
we followed the moon
long ago they tried to warn us
of the coming doom

are you a prisoner of holy war
they always told you less is more
someday I know it
we will be free
and bury all the remnants
of this rugged history
