Prophets of War Songtext

von Dream Theater

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Prophets of War" von Dream Theater handelt von den Auswirkungen von Krieg und der Frage, ob es an der Zeit...

It burns deep down inside of me,
We have ourselves to blame.
Not questioning, accepted as the truth.

Debate this fight it's just cause,
The facts do not support theirs.
To liberate a people,
And rid them of tyrant rule

Is it time to make a change,
Are we closer than before,
Can we help them break away,
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change.

Intrigued
Got your attention, - Deceived
Since the inception - Our brave
Fight for what reason,

Compelled
Can we clean up this mess,
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose.

Is it time to make a change,
Are we closer than before,
Can we help them break away,
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change.

Time for change,
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change

The only thing that I believe
Will help us see this through is faith.
Pray they will forgive,
Forgive our arrogance,
So we can make it right,
Right what they have wronged.

See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake

Our fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course

Is it time to make a change,
Are we closer than before,
Can we help them break away,
Are we profiting from war?

Is it time to make a change,
Are we closer than before,
Can we help them break away,
Are we profiting from war,
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It's time to make a change.

Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
