A Farewell To Arms

Lyrics

Can you hear their cries?
 Nowhere can the children run to hide
 Crimson rivers flow down hills
 Atone our ills
 And woe to all her songs of love
 A farewell to arms
 Mutilated lives blackening as coffin line the sides
 Filled with fathers, who has won
 When only sons
 Hold their grieving heads and mourn
 A farewell to arms
 ♪
 Always our souls entwine
 Erase this vast divide
 Deaf ears our voices rest
 Tyrant, this is protest
 Who has won?
 Yes, who has won?
 I'll wave this flag of white
 So the venged see the light
 We'll pay for closed eyes with our genocide
 Piercing the masquerade
 March to the death parade
 Trade not humanity
 For pearls of the slavery
 In the depth of mind the heart will find the truth of our leader
 
 We'll try the facts so through the cracks
 May fall the lying cheater
 Who has won when we're all dead?
 I'll wave this flag of white
 So the venged see the light
 We'll pay for closed eyes with our genocide
 So is this how we live?
 Or is this how we die?
 ♪
 Black blood dripping from platinum fangs
 Rich blood flees while our poverty hangs
 ♪
 Shepherds they herd the mindless trance
 As the flock follows the puppet's dance
 In a fatal romance
 ♪
 All that they needed was a pretext, war's next
 Heads to the chopping blocks, and our necks are next
 For those who died
 Who fought for our rights
 Whose children now slaves
 They're turning in their graves
 War hawks and senators they sit tight, so trite
 Never their sons will know what it's like to fight
 But soldiers are dead
 And children have bled
 And the silence is numb
 What have we become?
 What have we become?
 What have we become?
 What have we become?
 God save us
 A farewell to arms
