Behind every great man
An even greater army
From Alexander cutting Gordian ties
To Sparta and the battle of Thermopolia

For every one remains
A trillion more get washed away
The history written by the winners of the fight
Who reads it anyway?

Inside the greatest minds
Cause and effect collide
Myriad worlds combine
Enola Gay burns children of thalidomide

Oppenheimer take a bow
Only faith can save us now
But when they sound a fanfare for the common man
No one gives a Van Damme

Time will tell
If all is well
And if true heroes are forged
Only in the fires of war
