Eternal War

Through man's existence from the start of time
The fight for survival was our only crime
Those in power rotten to the core
The ongoing battle of the eternal war
What are we fighting for?
Is it worth dying for?
You're held down by your chains
There's no one but you to blame
Fighting, destroying, following blind
Crushing, corrupting, enslaving mankind
What's now left - You can't believe
Oppression those in power, used to deceive
Slave to hatred, peace they deplore
Driven by despair, eternal war
Rebuild humanity to create a new society
For there's strength in unity which lies with you
Can't you see
