A War Never Won

A permanent disguise hid within the eyes

Paint a vivid picture of our lives

We look into the future and kneel to one knee

We plea for absolution and judgment to be

It's not the cross you bear of some you should beware

And I can see that you don't really care

We've turned up every stone and we've swam through every sea

We've shattered all our hopes and what they mean

With a loaded gun you'll wonder what you've done

It's a war never won, it's a war never won

Look outside yourself, you're not an empty shell

You'll find out you're not like anyone else

And the portrait turns to dust and your faith begins to rust

Everything you've sought has been of lust

With a loaded gun look what you've become

I'm not your savior, I'm not your saint

I'm just the liar that fills your heart with hate

Do you hide in the darkness? Do you live for the rain?

Wash away our sins and stop the endless pain

Do we pray to the heavens? Do we pray to the gods?

There's no resolution to a war never won

War never won, war never won

War never won and the war's just begun
