Prophets of War - Dream Theater

It burns deep down inside of me We have ourselves to blame

No questioning, accepted as the truth

Debate this fight it’s just cause

The facts to not support theirs

To liberate a people

And rid them of tyrant rule

Is it time to make a change?

Are we closer than before?

Can we help them break away?

Are we profiting from war?

It’s time to make a change

Intrigued

Got your attention — Deceived

Since the inception — Our brave

Fight for what reason?

Compelled

Can we clean up this mess?

The loss of loved ones

A perverse request

They continue the same rhetoric

These derelicts that profit

Win or lose

Is it time to make a change?

Are we closer than before?

Can we help them break away?

Are we profiting from war?

It’s time to make a change

Time for change

Fight the fear

Find the truth

Time for change

They only thing

That I believe

Will help us see this through is faith

Prey they will forgive

Forgive our arrogance

So we can make it right

Right what they have wronged

See you sweat

Unexpected, controversial

Get used to it Things are gonna get personal

Your sympathy

A pitiful display you stutter

Your empathy

Means nothing if there is no honor

Responsible

Of this you are incapable

We implicate

Incriminate — Exacerbate — Too much at stake

Our Fathers, Mothers

Sisters, Brothers

Sons and Daughters

Forced

Perpetuating their ideals

A mindless act

To stay the course

Is it time to make a change?

Are we closer than before?

Can we help them break away?

Are we profiting from war?

Is it time to make a change?

Are we closer than before?

Can we help them break away?

Are we profiting from war?

Is it time to make a change?

A change from what it’s been

Can we help them break away?

Is our patience wearing thin?

It’s time to make a change

Time for change

Fight the fear

Find the truth

Time for change
