This Is Our War Songtext

von Billy Talent

Once there was a nation here,
Now there is no more.
Once we fought to change our fears,
But now this is our war.

This is our war
This is our war

Wash your mind out, where's your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?

We're still playing the prideful game,
As we profile the enemy that we created.
We're still playing the prideful game,
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war

(This is our war)
Once there was a nation here,
Now there is no more.
(This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war.

Divisive words from ivory towers,
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers.
Countless fools and reckless cowards,
Rally the people in the quest for power.

We're still playing the prideful game,
As we profile the enemy that we created.
We're still playing the prideful game,
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war

(This is our war)
Once there was a nation here,
Now there is no more
(This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war.

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more.
This is our war
This is our war

We're into the red. We're into the red.
And as it burns the fire spreads.
We're under the threat. We're under the threat.
Will it still burn tomorrow?

Once there was a nation here,
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears,
But now this is our war.

(This is our war)
Once there was a nation here,
Now there is no more
(This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war.

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more.

(This is our war)
Once there was a nation divided,
Now this is our war.
(This is our war)
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more
