Messenger - Oracles of War

The tension's mounting, you can't run
Try to back down but it catches you up
Your leaders speak of good intent
But their desires pave the road to hell

The preacher's words don't resonate
And the teacher's words arrived too late
And your father's deeds were all in vain,
so don't stand in the sunshine waiting for the rain

Head covered in a shroud of lies
Red spilling from the whites of their eyes
Lies killing all the innocents on both sides
Let's lacerate this great divide

Don't go looking for reason
It's absent like the desert's snow
They'll reap their harvest of treason
After they've squandered every soul

Don't fold; don't let them mislead you
We can't let them tear us apart
Take guard; stay out of the shadows
Don't let them feast upon our hearts

As the tolling of the Doomsday bell, rings out
Ears are deafened by the sound of the death knell
Blind by the fire, no longer under the spell
This triumph will be our tale to tell

Don't go looking for reason
It's absent like the desert's snow
They'll reap their harvest of treason
After they've squandered every soul

Don't fold; don't let them mislead you
We can't let them tear us apart
Take guard; stay out of the shadows
Don't let them feast upon our hearts

Heaven's just over the wall
Heaven's just over the wall

Somewhere in the center of this,
cell exists an acquiescent organism
Will compassion claw her way from this machine?
There must be a way

Autonomous clones assemble
circumvolve anthropomorphic oscillations
Seeking makeshift mechanical sanctuary
This can't be in vain

I can't carry the blame
Lord it's weighing me down
It's your burden of shame
Too much blood on the ground
