Grave Ride
Taken for a rideI know I said I'd rescue youBut their troops had taken holdAt last you're not alone in that cityAm I safer, here in the cold?These bombs and bullets at nightYou wear like jewelryThat seems to be the differenceBetween you and meLet's hope it's not a graveNo war is worth it, without youNo point in living without youI know you feel the way I doIt's not a real world without youLet's hope it's not a graveI heard some friends got taken for a rideA one way journey, everybody diedIt's not unusual, many go that wayTheir numbers mounting every single dayBut what can I do but hope you're still aliveThis is what happens when opposites collidePublic, and private, arbitrary deathSongtexte'Cause war is power and power is businessWe are but numbers, statistics on a sheetThis is what happens whenever humans meetNo need for fingers, we know who to blameIntolerance will end and start this gameI write this letter while taken for a rideMaybe I'll see you on the other sideLet's hope it's not a graveTwo fingers crossed, hope it's not a graveBut what can I do but hope you're still aliveThis is what happens when opposites collidePublic and private, arbitrary death'Cause war is power, and power businessThese bombs and bullets at nightYou wear like jewelryThat seems to be the differenceBetween you and meHope it's not a grave Aus Songtexte Mania
