War-Weary World |
Well, it only took a moment |
For the cages to explode |
I say it must be released |
From corruption of the soul, but oh |
Have you heard the latest cry? |
Yeah, we’ve heard it all before |
A weapon falls from the sky |
Yeah we’ve seen it all before |
Buildings live and people die |
War weary world |
It’s the song of quiet courage |
From the children of the night |
That learned the price of freedom |
They’ve learned to live to fight |
Have you heard the reasons why? |
Yeah we’ve heard it all before |
But have you seen the nation cry? |
Yeah we’ve seen it all before |
Many times, many times |
War weary world |
War weary world |
Love breaks a man |
Sends him ruin |
Love rebuilds him |
Brings him ruin |
It’s a time of strange teaching |
Hear the moanings of regret |
From the schools of revolution |
The stages have been set |
Oh, but listen |
It seems wars are meant to happen |
And pain is meant to be |
But if hope is eternal |
Then a hiding place for you and me |
Have you heard the latest cry? |
Yeah we’ve heard it all before |
A weapon falls from the sky |
Yeah we’ve seen it all before |
Buildings live and people die |
War weary world |
War weary world |
