Wage War Lyrics by Prison

Still Alive

2019

I hate war

Hurt, hurt, hurt

We are a temporary plague in an eternal nightmare
We’re bred to hate, but we ignore the pain we cause
And pretend to fight fair
Feed, feed the war machine
Until we’ve no arms left to bear
Then we feign regret and pray to any God that our trivial lives are spared

But everything you know and love will die
Because everything you swear by is a lie

We fight for peace
We kill for peace
Yet we embrace war
War, war, war is what we live for
We fight for peace
We kill for peace
Yet we embrace war
War, war, let’s start another war

You’re starting a war
You’re starting a war
You’re starting a war
You’re starting a war that you can’t win

(Everything you know and love will die)

We are a temporary plague in an eternal nightmare
We’re bred to hate, but we ignore the pain we cause
And pretend to fight fair
Start a war
You’ve started a war
You’ve started a war that you can’t win

We fight for peace
We kill for peace
Yet we embrace war
War, war, war is what we live for
We fight for peace
We kill for peace
Yet we embrace war
War, war, let’s start another war

Fight, kill, start a war
Fight, kill, start a war
