We've always been told to stand up tall   "Guard the nation"   This killing force that we have made, what for?   I am sickened by this attitude that plagues   The Mother Earth   It always seems that we're all fighting   We don't know what it's worth      Close the door as they beg for more   Children cry as they're left to die   See the tears running down their faces   See compassion is at end   Mother Earth is crying   Rest in peace... Peace!      Who can you believe? It's never what it seems   Feel the anger   They're tightening the vice, now who pays the price?   We will!   I am saddened by this selfishness and, "Who cares"   Attitude!   Put down your arms and stop this fighting   Save our Mother Earth      Close your eyes, say your last goodbyes   Self-destruct, we've run out of luck   See the lights turn to darkness   Realize there is no hope   The human race is dying   Rest in peace... Peace!      [1st Lead: Craig]      [2nd Lead: Tim]      Desperate - Is what we've all become   Helpless - There's nowhere left to run   Crushing - The spirit of mankind   Forbidding - What's yet to come!      We've always been told to stand up tall   "Guard the nation"   This killing force that we have made, what for?   I am sickened by this attitude that plagues   The Mother Earth   It always seems that we're all fighting   We don't know what it's worth      Who will drop the curtain   Who will end Earth's history   No more "Happy ever after"   Rest in peace... Peace   Rest in peace -      [Lead: Tim]
