Lyrics If You Want Peace (Prepare for War) - Pretty Maids

If You Want Peace (Prepare for War)

Is this the last day of our house?
The dogs of war are coming out
Thrive on profit, blood and oil
Sacrifice on foreign soil you know
Heartless tactics, methods cruel
Blood and fire is the fuel to decline
If you want peace prepare for war
Face the truth and hit the floor
You’ll see history repeat itself
The guns are drawn and shields are raised
When common sense has gone to waste
It’s seen before, we know it all too well
And so the endgame’s drawing near
We see the world dissolve in wrath and fear
Vulture culture, barefaced lies
We demolish, pulverize with intent
Cynicism dead and blown
Shattered lives in killing zones again
And as I watch the graveyard generation slide
Stumbling like walking dead, all devoid of life
If you want peace prepare for war
Face the truth and hit the floor
You’ll see history repeat itself
The guns are drawn and shields are raised
When common sense has gone to waste
It’s seen before, we know it all too well
Nothing’s sacred, all astray
Ride a world we cannot save
Bombs away and blow it all to hell
