This Is Our War
Billy Talent - Afraid of Heights
Once there was a nation here
Once we fought to change our fears
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Rights should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?
We're still playing the blindfold game
As we profile the enemy that we create
We're still playing the blindfold game
With the cards on the table in the end we're all the same!
Where's the compassion in the world today?!
until we find another way this our war!
Once there was a nation here
Once we fought for change arm in arm
Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers.
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in their quest for power.
We're still playing the blindfold game
As we profile the enemy that we create
We're still playing the blindfold game
With the cards on the table in the end we're all the same!
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Until we find another way This Is Our War!
Once there was a nation here
Once we fought for change arm in arm
Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old-stock generation carry the flag for you and me no more.
(This Is Our) WAR! This Is Our War.
We're into the red. We're into the red. And as it burns the fire spreads.
We're under the threat. We're under the threat. Will it still burn tomorrow?
Once there was a nation here
Once we fought to change our fears
Once there was a nation here
Once we fought for change arm in arm
Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old-stock generation carry the flag for you and me no more.
Once there was a nation divided
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more!
