Distant thunder echoes then a shaft of light
Breaks the spell of darkness, is this the sign the end's in sight?
Came with it all worked out, we know what's best for you
Lead you to the Promised Land, we are the way, we are the truth

Going to takes us all to the wall
So what the hell we fighting for?

Is there ever any reason
When wasted lives leave mothers grieving
In the name of the cause
And as the searing sun beats down
Another city taken down
In the name of the cause

Burning heat, the desert sun, walk the streets, a smoking gun
Pray to god, what have we done? The fighting rages on and on
I just need a reason, don't want your lies
Feels like open season, justify why I should die

Going to takes us all to the wall
So what the hell we fighting for?

Is there ever any reason
When wasted lives leave mothers grieving
In the name of the cause
And as the searing sun beats down
Another city taken down
In the name of the cause
