Prophets of War Lyrics
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accept it as the truth
Debate this fight - it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
and rid them of tyrant rule
[CHORUS] Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change
(Intrigued) Got your attention
(Deceived) Since the inception
(Our brave) Fight for what reason?
(Compelled) Can we clean up this mess?
The loss of loved ones a perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit win or lose
[CHORUS]
(Time for change! Fight the fear!
Find the truth! Time for change!)
The only thing that I believe
will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right what they have wronged
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personnal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display, you stutter
Your empathy
means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate, incriminate, exacerbate, too much at stake
Our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act to stay the course
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
(x2)
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been?
Can we help them break away?
Is our patience wearing thin?
It's time to make a change
(Time for change! Fight the fear!
Find the truth! Time for change!)
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accept it as the truth
Debate this fight - it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
and rid them of tyrant rule
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change
(Deceived) Since the inception
(Our brave) Fight for what reason?
(Compelled) Can we clean up this mess?
The loss of loved ones a perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric

Awesome song
...
faggots? are you kidding me dude? That's obviously not the lyric....
These lyrics are incomplete and incorrect. Understandably, though. It's hard to decipher the lyrics without the CD book.
I have updated the lyric somewhat, please submit here corrections and I'll update.
When mike kicks into vocals after the "Right for they have wronged"
i think it goes something like this (do not bash me anyone because i am not 100% sure but this is what i got out of it)
i see you sweat unexpected, controversial to be strict things are gonna get personnal
Your sympathy a pitiful display, you stutter Your empathy means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible of this you are incapable we implicate, incriminate, excacerbate, too much at stake Our Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, sons and daughters forced Perpetuating their ideals A mindless act or state of course
exacerbate*
Obviously this is about the war in Iraq
Obviously this is about the war in Iraq
I think that instead of Faggots it supposed to say "Debate this fight its just cause" and just after it says unexpected,controversial its supposed to say "Get used to it" not to be strict
I find this song pretty catchy, play on words, profiting from war, thanks for the double meanings Labrie.
