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
