Lucian Blaque - Language Of War Lyrics

Language of war
Its spoken in words
They have no meaning
They're not understood
False hopes and dreams
What's to be gained
To build up moral
Shot down in pain
Language of war

After the traces burned the sky
Disappearing from sight
The flash in our eyes as bright as the sun
As loved ones fell to the ground
The strong watched with horror
No power to help, no strength in reserve

Language of war
So much it can say
No more frightening at night
Than in the day
Hostile but easing words
We all must hear
Built up in sorrow
Shot down in fear
Language of war

Knowledge gone
No evidence remains
The silt harbors the prize
No witness, no jury
No judge, no crime
Will we ever build?
To such an advanced state
To once again bring full circle our lives

Language of war, in so many words
It's all been said, it's all been heard
Justified violence, glorified death
Is this all that we can speak even with our last breath?
Language of war
