The Crossfire

When we have nothing to say
When we have nothing to offer
Our lives become a waiting game

If there was ever a way
It only leads me to wonder
If it's as simple as you say
(If it's as simple as you say)
If it's as simple as...

When we have nothing to say
When we have nothing to offer
We'll curse the names of those that led us here

Where blood once stained the earth
From homеs reduced to ash and dust
The only known survivors lеft to burn
For all our sins, scapegoats to the cause
Charred remains in unmarked graves
Biding time 'til karma takes its course (Takes its course)

It only leads me to wonder
If it's as simple as you say

You promised us a better tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time)
If our only hope is to beg and to borrow
We'll cut our losses
There's nothing left to leave behind
(There's nothing left to leave behind)

How dare you ask me to stand alone
Against this onslaught, the oncoming hordes
When I have watched as history reaps and sows
Only bloodshed, a symphony of restless souls
(Restless souls, restless souls, restless souls)

The mind's eye is a terrible liar
We lowered our guard, now we're caught in the crossfire
Battered, broken and bruised
Tattered and torn, we refuse to expire
We're caught in the crossfire

When we have nothing to say
When we have nothing to offer
We'll curse the names of those that led us here

You promised us a better tomorrow (A better tomorrow)
I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time)
If our only hope is to beg and to borrow
We'll cut our losses
There's nothing left to leave behind

A god's hand has a will of its own
But still, you ask me to stand alone (Stand alone)
I'm not equipped to face this on my own
