Fail - Orphaned Land

Slippery tongues fork from my screen

Spewing such lies in the name of the green

They play the game of thrones till one wins

A rule of one liar ends and another beings

So why do we fail to see

And why in this jail are we

Living our life with the threat of fire

We’re losing again all to this mire

Money tied with power, war and bloodlust

They’ll spend our money until none of it lasts

They will send our sons to war to die for a god

That they use as a coin to barter for blood

«Yes sir, no sir" — can I go home now?

Your thirst for blood has lost me somehow

I was young when they took me;

I am a young man no more

As they used me and threw me like the army’s last whore

A children’s crusade — we are brothers in arms

A multitude of fools like a rain of falling stars

We walk the road to war while they smoke their cigars

Like a serpent forever feed on its tail

This cycle of death goes on forever gain,

And again… and again…
