Breakaway

Can you see what you've become
 Hiding yourself behind a loaded gun?
 You will never feel true love living in the shadow of the sun.
 The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees
 And who will lead with compassion in their hands?
 Break, break away
 Break from the past, break
 From everything you know
 Take, take away. Take from the dead
 They are living proof
 Try to breathe the smoke-filled air
 Haunted by the voices of the dead
 You will never win the war or wash
 Away the blood that has been shed
 The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees
 And who will lead with compassion in their hands?
 Break, break away
 Break from the past
 Break from everything you know.
 Take, take away.
 Take from the dead, they are living proof.
 Break, break away.
 Break from the past, break
 From everything you know.
 Take, take away.
 Take from this life – it's the only fucking truth
 To the cowards who sit back and watch
 Fathers become a casualty notch:
 Where are they now the truth is out?
 To the mothers who grieve and cry
 While their children fight back and die:
 Where are they now the truth is out?
 Break, break away
 Break from the past, break
 From everything you know.
 Take, take away.
 Take from the dead, they are living proof.
 Break, break away.
 Break from the past, break from everything you know.
 Take, take away.
 Take from this life – it's the only fucking truth.

 This is the only fucking truth.
