Casualty is the only question That should concern our modern time Not scriptures or stories of majesty Not interpretive tales of old Whole lives responsible for nothing For we haven't been left to be known The intricacies of the universe All the reasons to the questions are shown Only man, and man alone Can make an excuse An excuse for warfare Only man can take themselves to put the words Into our minds, into our conscience There's a thousand ends that never came But the prophecies remain the same A matter of history convenience A story that will never change Found in the maze of reality A sobering reminder that Our cause needs no instigator One being a need for a leader Someone to fill all the needs Of the many, one or other A story that will never change
