Authority tries to persuade our minds away
We see the truth of many devastating failures
Moved by the thought of this nation changing
These eyes wait to receive that beauty of sight
The capitol is under siege from demanding voices
Senators are placed in a position to create peace
Music of protest echoes the sound of our time
Newspapers print the deaths of innocent souls
Young men and women are given guns to kill
Iraqis in the streets scream with their blood
American families look on as chaos erupts
Dragged under the sand have been our thoughts
Tanks move into position to shatter more homes
Insurgents remain calm as an attack is planned
Threats from Iran are as clear as the silent moon
Two more soldiers die from a crashing plane
Evil smiles with a grin of pure hatred
To stay the course remains a quote of illusion
The presidential strategy is formed by failure
Buried reasons for war are in our conscience
Silence distracts the mind from its duty
Freedom is the foundation of our lives
War corrupts the heart as citizens speak out
Tears now drip from a young widows face
Reading of how her husband gave his life
Children breathe sorrow for those who fell
The region is slowly becoming a powder keg
World War Three could slip in unnoticed
Escalating madness through an ancient land
Beggars for peace shout across the sand
Provinces ripped apart by secular violence
Civil war spreads like a wildfire of death
A religious riff for over a thousand years
Mistrust runs deep through all of Baghdad
Faith in stability is a belief unfulfilled
Confusion for the future is at every turn
An exit for the troops must be revealed
For we are now in the shackles of Babylon
