A War You Cannot Win Lyrics
(2012)
(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

Down Through The Ages

Give me strength to retain what my fathers bought
Hold no scars on their memory
No regret for the truth they had founded
Never more this tragedy
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
Hands once tied now empower my enemy
A common thread that oppression believes
The grand design ends in tyranny
The cost of safety's paid when no one is free
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
Believe this truth we're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down

It's come down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
Our greatness is our proof
They know these words are true
Believe this truth, we're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down
It's come down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away

You Can't Fill My Shadow

I think I know you
I think I've seen you before
Don't think you know it
But I know that you're a joke

You're so impressed with all the filth that I abhor
You spineless coward
You know you're worthless
You whore

I want the world to know how spineless and fearful you are
Want all your loved ones to be there just to see you fall
I hope that I can be the reason you wear your scars
I want the world to know how spineless and fearful you are

I think you know this
I think it eats you inside
I bet your nightmares are better than your real life

You point the finger but when I look in your eyes
I see you weakness and know your life's a life

I want the world to know how spineless and fearful you are
Want all your loved ones to be there just to see you fall
I hope that I can be the reason you wear your scars
I want the world to know how spineless and fearful you are

You will never fill my shadow
No, you can't fill my shadow
You will never fill my shadow
You will never fill my shadow
No, you'll never
No, you'll never
No, you can't fill my shadow
No, you'll never
No, you'll never

You'll try to fill my shadow
No, you'll never
No, you'll never

Boy, you can't fill my shadow
No, you'll never
No, you'll never

Boy, you can't fill my shadow
No, you can't fill my shadow
You will never fill my shadow
No, you'll never
No, you'll never

Stand Up

I know, no one had ever dreamed that
We were this strong and we'd achieve this
So long the doubt and all believed it
And now it's come for all to see yeah

We've worked, so hard
Pushed every day now
See the blood sweat and tears on our face
We've never been stronger
There's no holding back now
So you can hear us say

Stand up, Stand up we were right
You know we can't be more justified
And they can't deny it
Stand up, stand up we were right
We've come to far just to fade away
And they can't deny it

I've hear the words those in the circle say
"So what, they're done, don't matter anyway"
Well here's your proof, they're all silent today
And there's no way they can take it away.

We've worked so hard
Pushed every day now
See the blood sweat and tears on our face
We've never been stronger
There's no holding back now
So you can hear us say

Stand up, Stand up we were right
You know we can't be more justified
And they can't deny it
Stand up, stand up we were right
We've come to far just to fade away
And they can't deny it

We never said it was easy
And no one gave us a thing
Now that last part is so pleasing
We're stronger than you think

Stand up, Stand up we were right
You know we can't be more justified
And they can't deny it
Stand up, stand up we were right
We've come to far just to fade away
And they can't deny it

Stand up, stand up we were right
(They can't deny it)
Stand up, stand up we were right

A Call To All Non-Believers



Dominate subjugation the end
Decimate destruction is the real trend
Fabricate enemies as your friends
Profligate worthless is life in the end

I know your false God
I've seen his works and his deeds
Your Angry False God
And violence is his creed

A call to all non-believers
This is a call
A call to stand up and fight
Stand, Fight
A call to all non-believers
This is a call
A call to stand for what's right

Demonstrate show just how backwards you are
Calculate all while you hid in plain sight
Perpetrate deception stealing of rights
Subjugate no longer hiding the fight

I know your false God
I've seen his works and his deeds
Your False God
And violence is his creed

A call to all non-believers
(A call to all non-believers)
A call to stand up and fight
Stand, Fight
A call to all non-believers
(A call to all non-believers)
A call to stand for what's right

You have their blood on your hands
Wash their blood from your hands
Don't leave their blood on your hands
Wash their blood from your hands

This is a call to all non-believers
This is a call to stand up and fight

Asking Too Much

I have no words that I can say
To make you see that
I know I couldn't make you stay
I cannot beat this
What have you done
This all seems so wrong
I hate that you let it in
And now that you're gone
The night seems so long
And I can't pretend

I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you
Outside of my door
But damn I wanna let you in
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never

And still the writings on the wall
To close to see it
You know this better Then them all
You don't believe it
What have you done
This all seems so wrong
I hate that you let it in
And now that you're gone
The nights seem long
And I can't pretend

I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you outside of my door
But damn I won't let you in
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again

And now you're gone
Nothing makes this seems more wrong
The memory of your face keeps dragging me along
When I feel lost
I know that I have paid the cost
And now I'll find my way

I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you
Outside of my door
But damn I won't let you in
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again

Just Moment In Time

No reason to repent no one will answer my prayers
And in the black of night I call and no one's there
A lack of vision. A lack of sight
One god destroys me, another brings me to life

Indebted before we leave the womb
A lifetime spent to avoid our doomA struggle so basic, we live our lives
in fear
It still means nothing because nothing is real

We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die
We are just an instant in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die

Vastness confounds us every day
Arrogance these silly games we play
Why should we believe we are eternal?

So clever but primal urges block our way
Designed by time, there could be no other way
Take solace in ignorance, return to nothing
and in nothing remain

We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die
We are just an instant in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die

Eternity is so massive, we cannot comprehend
So take every last bit and on nothing depend
We are moments in time. We come from nothing
We are moments in time. We are nothing

No man can comprehend

We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die
We are just an instant in time
We come from nothing and we're nothing when we die

No man can comprehend we are nothing.

What If I Was Nothing

Just let it go, don’t want to haunt you anymore
I can’t be sure I know just what we’re fighting for
I know that you’re scared and that you’re thinking I may go
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving

And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question

What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you

I know it’s hard, it seems that we’ve worked at this so long
Soft and foolish pride that tells us we’re not wrong
I hear your voice, you tell me that you’ll never go
And I believe it, I believe it.

And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question

What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you

And we can keep this going on, we’ll make it work some way
And every step, it makes us stronger every day

And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question

What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you

What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you.

Sing For Liberty

Usurping cowards
Dividing the nation
False use of power
Total domination

Unending fight
They use force to prove they're right
I cannot hide. I know that we must defy

Why can't we see it? They're trying to make a slave of you
Take back your freedom (Take it back, take it back)

I have such pride in the land I thought was mine
I can't deny and I fear my home has died

Why can't we see it? They're trying to make a slave of you
Take back your freedom (Take it back, take it back)
Why can't we see it? No one believes deep down it's true
Take back your freedom (Take it back, take it back)

Enslaving and binding while countrymen sleeping
Traitorous minions of dominance reaching
Cast out the fallen and all who would keep them

Take it back

Why can't we see it? They're trying to make a slave of you
Take back your freedom (Take it back, take it back)
Why can't we see it? No one believes deep down it's true
Take back your freedom (Take it back, take it back)

Bound with lies
Terrified

Why can't we see it? They're trying to make a slave of you
Take it back, take it back

Not Fading

I know it's not so easy to know
Just how far I can go without you
The time that you spent sleeping alone
Wondering if I still know your waiting

And if you're lonely, wondering about me
Call out my name, I'll be there

If I am gone and you're alone, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you
It's all alone, you kept me strong, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you

In days when I don't want to go on
Feel I can't still be strong without you
Yet I can't think of anything lost
That I've worked for so long and found it

And if you're lonely, wondering about me
Call out my name, I'll be there

If I am gone and you're alone, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you
It's all alone, you kept me strong, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you

[Solo]

I can still feel you, it's not fading
My heart is always with you
And if you're lonely, wondering about me
Call out my name

If I am gone and you're alone, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you
It's all alone, you kept me strong, I still can feel you
It's not fading (fading), not fading, my heart's for you

A War You Cannot Win

We've been deceived for so long, we stop believing
Can't tell what's right or what's wrong
So you stop feeling
when violence, and coercion. are their tool
Then you must stand scream

No, hell no. Won't follow commands I won't meet
your demands said
No, hell no. I am not yours to rule I won't be
your fool cause

We are standing here waiting you'll listen to reason
This is a war you cannot win
We are standing he waiting. And you're going to listen
This is a war you cannot win

Now I can see that it's all a fight for power.
But there is no way we are wrong this is our hour
One voice can silence the masses
One voice just scream these words say

No, hell no. Won't follow commands I won't meet
your demands said
No, hell no. I am not yours to rule I won't be
your fool cause

We are standing here waiting you'll listen to reason
This is a war you cannot win
We are standing he waiting. And you're going to listen
This is a war you cannot win

Just take a good look around you now
You have to see there's no way
You can't control what we feel, what we think
And we will not go away.

No, hell no. Won't follow commands I won't meet
your demands said
No, hell no. I am not yours to rule I won't be
your fool cause

We are standing here waiting you'll listen to reason
This is a war you cannot win
We are standing he waiting. And you're going to listen
This is a war you cannot win

Won't follow commands I won't meet your demands
(War you cannot win)
We are standing here waiting
Won't follow commands I won't meet your demands
(This is a war you cannot win)
