Casulties of War

Make the bed you ly in, it's nothing but a bed of lies The truth you're denying is the God given right to cry You decieve yourself when you swear you do no harm But the livng proof is right there in your empty arms Life is a battlefield, the soldiers right and wrong But it seems the victims never see the light of dawn Killed as they're sleeping so you won't hear them cry The cowards way so you don't look them in the eye Blood on the mountain and the rivers running red Waters are salty from the tears that have been shed Cold hearted laughter and your web has been spun Now the walls are coming down, the war has just begun You just turn your head and look the other way So you don't see the blood that falls like rain today or the generations that are silenced by your sword No law could ever justify "Casuaties of War" You take their breath but Heaven takes their soul Spirit of Baal you've been denied your gold
