When Nothing Remains Lyrics

When Nothing Remains lyrics

Three young dead in an arson attack



Their youthfull life stolen away



It's the same headlines heard so many times before



Why do the innocent have to pay?



Do you think to them religion really mattered



So much that they'd be killing for?



Innocent victims caught in the crossfire



Now casualties of an insane war











How many tears? How much sorrow?



How many hearts are broken?



I keep asking myself why?



How many more treaties, with useless words spoken?



If we don't stop it now



We are all destined to die











Hundreds of years of fratricidal wars



Fighting for ancient lands



Ethnic hatreds reach to extremes



As man kills his fellow man



Brother kills brother on the battlefield



Their blood and destruction feeds the rich



While the ones who finance the slaughter



Escape the blame without a hitch











For how much greed and for how much money



Have we been sold?



At whose expense must we die?



What's to believe when all promises have been broken?



And everything we hear



Is a goddamn lie











I don't see a future on the path we follow



A path plagued by death and pain



Please why can't you tell me who has won



When nothing remains?











Wake up and see, I'm not the enemy



Who has won when nothing remains?



Learn from your history, hate does not kill hate



Who has won when nothing remains?



Why can't you believe, you have so much to learn



Now you've turned your back on where you came from



Do you think there's lessons to be learned



While you sink, nothing remains
