[Eftichiou / DeFrancesco / Sly] [Narration: Franklin D. Roosevelt] Recollection of the past, destiny is falling History ignored again as the war machine is calling Strategy and diplomacy now apart as black and white Armageddon final warning by the sword to live and die The innocent will pay the price of peace Sanity restrained again to reach a price of peace The tyrant survives, the innocent burn, is this the price of peace? Environmental nightmare, the price of peace Hostage to a world insane, bureaucracy will make your mind Prisoner of innocence can't break free, their hands are tied Hostage soldier broken man, all is fair in love and war, ha! Pain and suffering to the world, won't somebody heed the call? The innocent will pay the price of peace Sanity restrained again to reach a price of peace Environmental nightmare, is this the price of peace? The innocent will pay the price of peace, no! People's lives, the pain to pay No relief could wash away Indignity forced, lives decay The price of peace too high to pay The innocent will pay the price of peace Sanity restrained again to reach a price of peace Broken dreams are all I see, is this the price of peace? Environmental nightmare No means to justify an end, all a dream of yesterday Level it all to the ground and build it up again Shattered dreams are all I see, the sky, a blackened haze Lessons will we ever learn, the price of peace these days? The innocent will pay Sanity stripped away Is this the only way? Human lives decay Time is now, what is the price of peace?
