“Peace In Our Time”
[Verse 1]
This is the making of a legend
In time we will all learn his name
This is the birthing of a monster
Begin a legacy of pain
[Verse 2]
This is the making of confusion
The holy gives way to the wicked men
This is how fear becomes delusion
And the psychopath is running the asylum
[Chorus]
"Peace in our time"
Gives me hope, makes me smile
But like sheep we ignore
One man's hunger for war
And the fear in our hearts
Makes us weak as we obey
Old white men who will gladly
Dispatch us to our grave
[Verse 3]
This is the birth of our disaster
When we turn reason on its ugly head
This is the making of our master
And he hangs the globe of balance on a thread
[Verse 4]
This is the day of our completion
Into a company of order
The time was right for annexation
Of the final bit of strength we had to offer
[Chorus]
"Peace in our time"
Makes us go 'bout our lives
While the serpents in the grass
Slowly poison us en masse
And the king has arrived
How he knows to sympathize
"Keep your eyes on the prize"
While constructing our demise
[Post Chorus]
Here comes the newly crowned Messiah
With blood congealed under their trench coat
This savior knows nothing of saving
He'll kiss your babies then he'll cut your throat
[Choral Interlude]
Believe me, redeem me
They won't stop till all souls drop
Unearthly, eternal
Belief in only a powerful bomb
[Outro]
This is the making of our legend
Chorus: Believe me, redeem me
Chorus: This won't stop 'til all souls drop
Chorus: They hurl me eternal
Chorus: Into the arms of his odious reverence
Begin a legacy of pain
