lyrics

Fire when ready, cast the first stone.
Tech dead-eye, don't you know?
These targets are precious to me.
Each one of these on a spiritual journey,
Much too important to be cut short over borders.
Someone hear me.

Lines on maps will fade.
Nations will change what names they use for bits of space.
Here and gone.
But you and I, who we are goes on.

And you can't try to get the bible to let you make an idol of survival.
The truth refuses you.

This is how it is with war:
He who would make safety by killing must kill all.

The bullets are so fast, they're god-like.
But you're no full racked God, you're a spike.
So your fight is just blasphemy.
Accomplice to your enemy,
Apostate to humanity,
An offense to me, and a failure to my offspring.

My "king"!
Presiding with bloody teeth
Over a fragile peace

Piled high atop a chaos of killing.
We do not like this way of building.
I and mine are walking down.
We believe that we can build peace.

Peace in the valley tonight,
Peace in the valley tonight.

This is how it is with war:
He who would make safety by killing must kill all.
