Never Wish War On A People

[Clown MC]
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war -- people people people

You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war -- people people people

[Michael]
Fractions
Not clear
Not now
Not here
Oh my, oh dear
I don't know where
I am I am I am --
I'm at a

[Michael & All]
Party
I remember a
Party
Tonight I'm gonna lose control

[All]
Boom

[Michael]
An explosion
People are frozen
Pictures of panic
Painted onto their poses
I am beholden
For this mess -- mess
All this distress
All this unrest

I'm running -- searching for the general -- is he
To blame?
And all the people they are screaming I can hear
My name
Time slows and I know I don't feel the same
And I'm running for a reason that I can't explain

[Anna]
Hold my hand
And walk with me

[All]
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life...

[Clown MC]
Come and disappear with no fear what it be like

[Anna]
Hold my hand
And have mercy

[All]
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life...

[Clown MC]
Vanish into air, come and stare into the light

You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war -- people people people

[Michael]
Fractions
Insane
My mind
My brain fails to explain
The pictures I'm seeing

[Michael & Willow]
Willow black dress
Mascara running
Tears on her cheek
And a preacher says something

[Michael]
Morning sky
Looking dreary like a painting
Painted by a guy
Whose demise was waiting

[Men]
Boom --

[Michael]
An explosion
Coffin is open
Willow all alone
On her own in an ocean

[Michael & Men]
Of sad looking soldiers
Lost without orders

[Michael]
I stretch my neck to see if I can get a glimpse of him
Is Venice lying dead when I should have been next
To him?
I see a body how could this get the best of him
I wish somebody else was lying there instead of
Him

[Anna]
Hold my hand
And walk with me

[All]
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life...

[Clown MC]
Come and disappear with no fear what it be like...

[Anna]
Hold my hand
And have mercy

[All]
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life...

[Clown MC]
Vanish into air come and stare into the light

[Clown MC]
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war -- people people people

[Michael] (Clown MC)
The seconds of your (You never wish war)
Life just (On a people)
Slow down, slow (You never wish war)
Down, slow down (On a people)
The seconds of your (You never wish war)
Life just (On a people)
Slow down, slow (You never wish war)
Down, slow down (On a people)

[All] (Clown MC)
The seconds of your (You never wish war)
Life just (On a people)
Slow down, slow (You never wish war)
Down, slow down (On a people)
The seconds of your (You never wish war)
Life just (On a people)
Slow down, slow (You never wish war)
Down, slow down (On a people)

[Michael]
The puzzle pieces swirl and snap to place
My stomach eats itself
I see my own face
Am I?

[Clown MC & Anna]
Wait

[Michael]
Can I?

[Clown MC & Anna]
Wait

[Michael]
Has something already determined my fate?
Time gives way
Am I too late?

[Clown MC]
I am death personified
You must be terrified
Now you are verified
Whoa let me clarify
Time is ripped open
Your mind has been chosen
The lines have been drawn
So fly to the dawn
On and on gone while the dead sings her song

[Anna]
Come along

[Clown MC & Anna]
Now take two steps
Take one breath
Just accept
Your own death
Take two steps
Take one breath
Just accept
Your own death

[Clown MC]
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war -- people people people
