Fire in the sky 
Out of the blue and into the red depths
Time for you and I 
To try to fall asleep 
In the bed they've made us
All came crumbling down 
Tears in our eyes 
As it rained confusion 
The whole world has changed

I don't understand 
How one can kill a man 
In the name of peace
That's ridiculous

They say eye for an eye
So they fire from the sky 
And they come outta nowhere
Time for you and I 
To turn on the big screen 
See what's happenin'
And as those children diePawns in the game of 
Collateral damage
The whole world goes mad

Standing here on quick sand
The more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope
At least that's what we think
At least that's what we think, cause

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
We sort nothing out
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides
Death is justified
Whatever the name
Then we're all to blame

So as the spirits fly
To honor those who've past
We've got to get along
While the time still lasts
Bury the hatchet deep
So we all can weeo 
And heal all this pain 
So, so we can live again
So, so we can live again 
'cause

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
We sort nothing out
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides
Death is justified
Whatever the name
Then we're all to blame
But I don't understand 
How one can kill a man 
In the name of peace
That's ridiculous
But I understand
That I will defend
My family from
Both sides of misery
