As It Was, as It Soon Shall Be

[Verse 1]

We didn't pay attention to lessons learned in the past

Soon the sands in the desert will melt from the atomic blast

Mesopotamia's ground zero for the coming of world war

Thousands die in the sand but I still don't understand what for

[Chorus]

As it was, as it soon shall be

We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three

A repetition of history as you soon shall see

As it was, as it soon shall be

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

War mongering leader of ours waves the flag of democracy

Sending our men out to die in the name of bureaucracy

The oil fields of Iraq are overflowing with blood

Another man dies but the lies rain down like a flood

[Chorus]

As it was, as it soon shall be

We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three

A repetition of history as you soon shall see

As it was, as it soon shall be

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

No weapons of mass destruction, no threat to me

Just one man's agenda for war, not a land of the free

I never gave a shit about the Middle East

But now we lie in the bed that we've made, start the atomic feast

[Chorus]

As it was, as it soon shall be

We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three

A repetition of history as you soon shall see

As it was, as it soon shall be

[Outro]

As it was, as it soon shall be

As it was, as it soon shall be

As it was, as it soon shall be

As it was, as it soon shall be
