R.I.P. Lyrics by Forbidden

Twisted Into Form

1990

We've always been told to stand up tall
"Guard the nation"
This killing force that we have made, what for?
I am sickened by this attitude that plagues
The Mother Earth
It always seems that we're all fighting
We don't know what it's worth

Close the door as they beg for more
Children cry as they're left to die

See the tears running down their faces
See compassion is at end
Mother Earth is crying
Rest in peace... Peace!

Who can you believe? It's never what it seems
Feel the anger
They're tightening the vice, now who pays the price?
You will!
I am saddened by this selfishness and, "Who cares"
Attitude!
Put down your arms and stop your fighting
Save our Mother Earth

Close your eyes, say your last goodbyes
Self-destruct, we've run out of luck

See the lights turn to darkness
Realize there is no hope
The human race is dying
Rest in peace... Peace!

[1st Lead: Craig Locicero]

[2nd Lead: Tim Calvert]

Desperate - Is what we've all become
Helpless - There's nowhere left to run
Crushing - The spirit of mankind
Forbidding - What's yet to come!

We've always been told to stand up tall
"Guard the nation"
This killing force that we have made, what for?
I am sickened by this attitude that plagues
The Mother Earth
It always seems that we're all fighting
We don't know what it's worth

Who will drop the curtain
That will end Earth's history?
No more "Happy ever after"
Rest in peace... Peace

Rest in peace -

[Lead: Tim Calvert]
