All the troubles and wars
blood spills and pours
this is the times of revelation
that we destroy all creation
blue skies turn black
days gone we can't get back
this is the end of time
we crossed that thin line
there's no peace anymore

And this is all we have left
between love and theft
children killing children
these are the things we teach them
behind locked doors
there's no peace anymore

Tear down the walls
just to put up new ones
mankind falls
still we never learn
we just let it all burn
there's no peace anymore

We suffer persecution
tortured and put to death
for your belief
you're only just a martyr
in your eye we mortify
as we watch another one die
take your last breath
this is all that remains
there's no peace anymore

Tied to chains
you hide behind repulsion
and there's no resolution
one with power refrains
on your knees he restrains
just like so many times before
and there's no peace anymore
