[00:20.19] Tell you a thing

[00:22.69] That you ought to know

[00:25.19] Two minutes of your time,

[00:27.58] Then on you go

[00:30.33] Tell tale of the men

[00:32.58] All dressed in black

[00:35.33] That most of them,

[00:37.58] Not coming back

[00:40.33] Sent off to the war

[00:42.58] To play little games

[00:45.33] And on their return,

[00:47.58] Can't name no names

[00:50.08] Some strange yellow gas has

[00:53.08] Played with their minds

[00:55.33] Has reddened their eyes,

[00:57.58] Removed all the lies

[01:00.33] And strange as it sounds,

[01:02.83] Death knows no bounds

[01:05.33] How many get well?

[01:07.83] Only time will tell

[01:10.47] ...

[01:28.33] Only time will tell

[01:33.83] ...

[03:21.61] You lie in

[03:22.36] Your death bed now

[03:24.37] But what did you

[03:25.36] Bring to the table?

[03:26.86] Brought us only

[03:27.86] Holy sin

[03:29.61] Utter trust

[03:30.36] Is a deadly thing

[03:32.36] To the prayer

[03:33.11] Of holy peace

[03:34.87] We didn't know what

[03:35.86] Was lying underneath

[03:37.87] So how could

[03:38.86] We be such fools?

[03:40.61] And to think that

[03:41.37] We thought you the answer

[03:44.50] I can't begin to

[03:45.75] Understand in all the lies

[03:50.25] But on your death bed,

[03:51.75] I can see it in your eyes

[03:55.50] Just as clear as all

[03:57.25] The sweat upon your brow

[04:01.25] It really makes sense,

[04:02.50] I can really see it clearly now

[04:05.00] Tangled up

[04:05.75] In a web of lies

[04:07.50] Could have been a way

[04:08.50] To prophesize

[04:10.50] Unaware of

[04:11.25] The consequence

[04:13.25] Not aware of the

[04:14.00] Secrets that you kept

[04:15.75] Nothing that

[04:16.50] We could believe

[04:18.50] To reveal the facade

[04:19.75] Of faceless men

[04:21.50] Not a thing that

[04:22.25] We could foresee

[04:24.00] Now a sign that would

[04:25.00] Tell us the outcome

[04:28.25] You had us all strung out

[04:30.25] With promises of peace

[04:33.50] But all along,

[04:34.75] Your cover plan

[04:36.00] Was to deceive

[04:39.00] Can it put to rights now?

[04:41.25] Only time will tell

[04:44.25] Your prophecies

[04:45.25] Will send us all to

[04:46.75] Hell as well

[04:47.75] ...

[04:48.25] Left to all

[04:48.64] Our golden sons

[04:50.64] All to pick up

[04:51.64] On the peace

[04:53.14] You could have given

[04:54.28] All of them

[04:56.03] A little chance,

[04:57.18] At least

[04:58.68] Take the world

[04:59.43] To better place

[05:01.18] Given them all just

[05:02.18] A little hope

[05:03.93] Just think what

[05:04.93] A legacy you now

[05:07.93] Will leave

[05:12.58] ...

[06:43.08] We seemed destined

[06:44.83] To live in fear

[06:45.83] And some that would say

[06:47.08] Armageddon is near

[06:49.58] But where there's a life,

[06:50.83] While there's hope

[06:52.08] That man won't

[06:53.08] Self-destruct

[06:55.83] Why can't we treat

[06:57.08] Our fellow men

[06:58.83] With more respect

[07:00.08] And a shake of their hands?

[07:02.58] But anger and loathing is rife

[07:05.33] The death on all sides

[07:06.58] Is becoming a way of life

[07:09.33] We live in an uncertain world

[07:11.73] Fear, understanding

[07:12.98] And ignorance is leading

[07:14.87] To death

[07:15.62] Only the corpses are left

[07:18.12] For vultures

[07:19.12] That prey on their bones

[07:21.26] ...

[07:34.76] But some are just

[07:35.76] Not wanting peace

[07:37.51] Their whole life

[07:39.15] Is death and misery

[07:41.40] The only thing

[07:42.90] That they know;

[07:43.90] "Fight fire with fire,

[07:45.40] Life is cheap"

[07:47.65] But if they do

[07:49.15] Stop to think

[07:50.15] That man is teetering

[07:51.90] Right on the brink

[07:54.15] But do you think

[07:55.54] That they care?

[07:56.54] They benefit from death

[07:58.43] And pain and despair

[07:59.93] ...
