Old warriors would Turn in their graves To see the innocent Used as slaves This war don't honor It only takes A hollow fight Where virtue breaks Empty banners They don't mean a thing No hero's name No songs to sing What kind of war burns The cradle too And calls it justice When it's all untrue? Once, the sword meant a noble cause Bound by duty Not fleeting laws Now the weak bear the heaviest load While cowards hide Where the bombs explode The kings are gone Their thrones run dry Their crowns now Rust beneath the sky No guiding hands Just shadowed plans A shattered world in fractured lands Now war is shame Not valor's call A monument to how far we fall The fire's gone The stars grow cold And dreams turn dust Where lies are sold Empty banners They don't mean a thing No hero's name No songs to sing When the masses rule The fire dies And war's just murder In a noble guise Sing to the stars But they've gone cold The echoes fade of stories told No sacred cause Just broken ties And war's just murder In a noble guise
