Time... look back in time
Ages lost in a veil of mystery
Signs... so many signs
Pointing to bloodshed and misery
So many battles too many wars
Bodies piled like an alter to the sun
So many swords sharpened with lies
Excuses for distruction that's been done

And the kings will dine on the travesty
While the funeral pyres burn
We choke upon the smoke
Yet we refuse to learn

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

Nothing but struggle is life
The only coin we have which which to trade
We are in trouble
How many times must the same debt be paid

As the royal few sit and brew their tea
In the sacrificial blood
They refuse to see that the final destiny is dust

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

And the kings will dine on you and me
While the funeral pyres still burn
We choke upon the smoke
Yet we refuse to learn
Refuse to learn

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory
