Fear/Hope

I've heard of a war that was fought long ago

That would change our whole view of how far man would go

We will torture and kill

We will smother and bleed

To get to the power we think we need

I've heard fragile voices with whispers of peace

They warn of a place where it's bent at its knees

Where a human is no longer human to some

And a child has less value to us than a gun

But something is lurking, it's trying to rise

An evil power in front of our eyes

It draws power from disparity

And their voices claim to set you free

History yells "you're not allowed to forget"

But I raise my voice

And I tighten my net

"For the evil that comes from a faraway place -

To ruin our home - is what I hope to erase"

And the child that I held on my arm

Soft and safe

I'm putting it down

And I'm changing my pace

For I don't believe an existing as one

Their voices are calling, I'm getting my gun

I'm fear and fear will always prevail

Some knew how to fight me

But they're dead or in jail

And as long as I hear them calling my name

I'll devour those nations alive in my flame

Well I'm hoping

I hope that I'll see the day

When I'll smother and blow all the evil away

But until that day I urge

Do not forget

As long as you have me

Evil has not won yet
