Choas Reigns

CHOAS REIGNS
In peace sons bury dads
But in war the roles reverse
If we don't end wars
Then war will end us
Laws are silent 
In times of war
Sometimes I think wars
Are to see who is top dog...

Giving money and power to governments
Is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys

Chaos reigns
Power is poison
We've seen the effects it's had for generations
Power corrupts, it happens to every nation
Money and power is what these jokers crave
And there's nothing they won't do to make us pay

The sins of a nation
rest upon one man's shoulders
He casts black shadows
Over iron ruled soldiers
For their own pleasures
Get away with distorting truths
A power of lies
Peoples minds take abuse

Giving money and power to governments
Is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys

Chaos reigns
Power is poison
We've seen the effects it's had for generations
Power corrupts, it happens to every nation
Money and power is what these jokers crave
And there's nothing they won't do to make us pay
