Times of War

by goot   Nov 9, 2004


A silent killer seeps through the windows
Gasses come down and we suffocate
People living in fear, in paranoia
Breathing loses critical meaning
Won't we die any way?

Weapons and bombing, gassing and death
Young childs face covered by a life saving beast
Began by our Grandfathers
Fought for our lives

No one can stop the innocent child
Look up to her mother and ask
Whats going to happen? Where will we go?
Hidden behind that mask

so now we sit in our homes
Conspiring and plotting unknown
Ones single mistake could begin mass genocide
Goodbye to your loved ones

All become punished by ones stupid move
