War muddy waters make it seem deep

As long as I am I, and the creed deems one race
Divine and the other in chains, stands unbroken,
Until it's cast into the depths, never to rise again,
The winds will echo with the lament of war, I see war.

Pre-Chorus:

Do I have the right? In the shadows of the night,
Do I have the power? To rise above the tower,
Do I have the will? To break through the chill,
Do I have desire? To walk through the fire?

Chorus:

Forgive everyone for everything, let the past dissolve,
The rage is red, but love must evolve,
Get on with the business of living, seek the light inside,
Or get on with the business of dying, let your soul decide.

Instrumental

As long as souls are divided by walls of class,
And the color of skin sets one's path in life,
Until these chains are broken, and unity prevails,
The earth will tremble with the cry of war, I see war.

Bridge:

They muddy the water, to make it seem deep,
Until the day when dreams of peace we keep,
World citizenship and moral law,
A fleeting illusion, a goal too far.

Chorus:

Now everywhere is war, war,
Everywhere is war, war,
Now everywhere is war, war,
Everywhere is war, war.

Verse 3:

Until the cruel regimes that shackle the free,
Are cast into aside no longer to be,
Everywhere is war, I see war.

Bridge:

Conflict in cities, turmoil in towns,
Strife in the valleys, unrest all around,
Battles and struggles, echoes profound.

Verse 4:

Until that day when all lands find peace,
And every heart knows love's release,
We'll strive for peace and mercy
The triumph of truth and humanity.

Verse outro

Truth over lies, kindness will rise,
Wisdom over ignorance, hope never dies,
Truth over lies, kindness will rise,
Wisdom over ignorance, hope never dies.
