Battlefield

As it was in the beginning
And is until this day
There’s always been a battle
It’s just the human’s way
Brother against brother
Drowning in the flood
Dying isn’t noble
Wine is turned to blood

Chorus
It’s just another battlefield
Another killing ground
The days are filled with darkness
With dying all around
The nights go on forever
Just waiting on the sun
A new day, a new battle
A fight that can’t be won

Freedom isn’t free they say
The gain is worth the cost
That depends on who is counting
And what they may have lost
A candle in the window
A ribbon in the yard
A single flag-draped coffin
The loss hits home so hard

Chorus

It’s just another battlefield
Another killing ground
The days are filled with darkness
With dying all around
The nights go on forever
Just waiting on the sun
A new day, a new battle
A fight that can’t be won

We heard all of their reasons
We listened to their lies
We measured all their actions
And cut them down to size
The truth has always been here
As plain as it can be
Killing never leads to peace
As any fool can see

Chorus

It’s just another battlefield
Another killing ground
The days are filled with darkness
With dying all around
The nights go on forever
Just waiting on the sun
A new day, a new battle
A fight that can’t be won
