This is a war Lyrics by Ignite

A War Against You

2016

Staring down the wrong way of a one way track
Crashing down behind us but we won't look back
We won't look back

There is a war on the concept of truth
Where the politicians stand on the backs of the youth
Get in, get sold out, get out of the way
The sheep have been slaughtered and silenced today

Close your eyes cause you don't want to see the truth
Don't take action just wait for the nightly news

This is a war
Where we bury the truth
If there's no reaction there's nothing left to do but stay down
There'll be nothing left for me and you

Each liberation's a license to steal
But don't be concerned your salvation is near
There's a new day that's coming get out from the cold
Defend the system for blood and for gold

Close your eyes cause you don't want to see the truth
Don't take action just wait for the nightly news

This is a war
Where we bury the truth
Destruction for even more to consume
This is a war, a war against you
If there's no reaction there's nothing left for you so stay down
There'll be nothing left for me and you

The deceptive lies the media wage
That brings destruction to this foreign place
We light the fire, then investigate
They turn the sceptics into the slaves
We wake up to find that our freedoms have been removed
So were calling for action
Before there's nothing left to hold on to

This is a war
Where we bury the truth
Destruction for even more to consume
This is a war, a war against you
If there's no reaction there's nothing left for you so stay down
There'll be nothing left for me and you
