What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Tell you a thing
2
That you ought to know
3
Two minutes of your time
4
Then on you go
5
Tell tale of the men
6
All dressed in black
7
That most of them
8
Not coming back
9
Sent off to the war
10
To play little games
11
And on their return
12
Can't name no names
13
Some strange yellow gas
14
Has played with their minds
15
Has reddened their eyes
16
Removed all the lies
17
And strange as it sounds
18
Death knows no bounds
19
How many get well
20
Only time will tell
21
Only time will tell
22
You lie in your death bed now
23
But what did you bring to the table
24
Brought us only holy sin
25
Utter trust is a deadly thing
26
To the prayer of holy peace
27
We didn't know what was lying underneath
28
So how could we be such fools
29
And to think that we thought you the answer
30
I can't begin to understand in all the lies
31
But on your death bed I can see it in you eyes
32
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
33
It really makes sense I can see it clearly now
34
Tangled up in a web of lies
35
Could have been a way to prophesise
36
Unaware of the consequence
37
Not aware of the secrets that you kept
38
Nothing that we could believe
39
To reveal the fa탧ade of faceless men
40
Not a thing that we could foresee
41
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
42
You had us all strung out with
43
promises of peace
44
But all along you cover plan was to deceive
45
Can it put to rights now only time will tell
46
Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well
47
Left to all our golden sons
48
All to pick up on the peace
49
You could have given all of them
50
A little chance... at least
51
Take the world to a better place
52
Given them all just a little hope
53
Just think what a legacy
54
You now... will leave
55
SOLO
56
We seem destined to live in fear
57
And some that would say Armageddon is near
58
But where there's a life while there's hope
59
That man won't self destruct
60
Why can't we treat our fellow men
61
With more respect and a shake of their hands
62
But anger and loathing is rife
63
The death on all sides is
64
becoming a way of life
65
We live in an uncertain world
66
Fear understanding and ignorance
67
is leading to death
68
Only the corpses are left
69
For vultures that prey on their bones
70
But some are just not wanting peace
71
Their whole life is death and misery
72
The only thing that they know
73
Fight fire with fire life is cheap
74
But if they do stop to think
75
That man is teetering right on the brink
76
But do you think that they care
77
They benefit from death and pain and despair
