Dream Theater Prophets Of War Lyrics

Prophets Of War Lyrics

It burns deep down inside of me

We have ourselves to blame

Not questioning

Accepted as the truth



Debate this fight it's just cause

The facts do not supports theirs

To liberate a people

And rid them of tyrant rule



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 a 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



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 a change?

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 personal

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?



Is it time to make a change?

Are we closer than before?

Can we help them break away?

Are we profiting from war?



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
