Kerry Livgren - Welcome To The War lyrics

The word you call a weapon Is the sound that will divide And the war goes on within your heart 'Til you finally take a side And put to d**h your pride You speak of fear and judgement Do you fear the one who knows? Your freedom's restoration Is the purpose you oppose And the consequence of action Is a law that all men face The rising son has bought the Human race Welcome to the war From beginning to end Welcome to the last world war Welcome to the war Truth will not bend Tell me who you're fighting for Your dreams and all your visions Won't feed a hungry child And all the vain philosophies Have left your mind defiled You declare as myth and legend What stands before your eyes The faith is sure, but you prefer the lies Welcome to the war There is no neutral ground Welcome to the last world war Welcome to the war No escape can be found Tell me who you're fighting for And when you're truly broken, it all becomes so clear This place that we were born in, all the hatred and the fear Was not the world intended, nor ever meant to be So twisted and distorted, it's reaching out and crying to be free The power and the glory will not be put to shame The world in which we're meant to live Has been revealed, and conquered in his name To those who hold the future as a time when all is well The truth is in the knowing of a heaven or a hell For the aliens and strangers it's a time we must endure For the light grows dim, the victory is sure Welcome to the war There is no neutrality Welcome to the last world war Welcome to the war It's the one reality Tell me who you're fighting for Welcome to the war From beginning to end Welcome to the last world war Welcome to the war Truth will not bend Tell me who you're fighting for
