Welcome to the War

Welcome to the War - Kerry Livgren/AD

Written by：Kerry Livgren

The word you call a weapon

Is the sound that will divide

And the war goes on within your heart

'Til you finally take a side

And put to death your pride

You speak of fear and judgement

Do you fear the one who knows

Your freedom's restoration

Is the purpose you oppose

And the consequence of action

Is a law that all men face

The rising son has bought the human race

Welcome to the war

From beginning to end

Welcome to the last world war

Welcome to the war

Truth will not bend

Tell me who you're fighting for

Your dreams and all your visions

Won't feed a hungry child

And all the vain philosophies

Have left your mind defiled

You declare as myth and legend

What stands before your eyes

The faith is sure but you prefer the lies

Welcome to the war

There is no neutral ground

Welcome to the last world war

Welcome to the war

No escape can be found

Tell me who you're fighting for

When you're truly broken

It all becomes so clear

This place that we were born in

All the hatred and the fear

Was not the world intended

Nor ever meant to be

So twisted and distorted

It's reaching out and crying to be free

The power and the glory

Will not be put to shame

The world in which we're meant to live

Has been revealed and conquered in his name

To those who hold the future

As a time when all is well

The truth is in the knowing

Of a heaven or a hell

For the aliens and strangers

It's a time we must endure

For the light grows dim the victory is sure

Welcome to the war

There is no neutrality

Welcome to the last world war

Welcome to the war

It's the one reality

Tell me who you're fighting for

Welcome to the war

From beginning to end

Welcome to the last world war

Welcome to the war

Truth will not bend

Tell me who you're fighting for

To last world war
