Crimes Against Humanity

Prisoner of war, prisoner of love

There's a torch to my head

Crimes of passion, got crimes of youth

Stop the ringing in my head

Born again and not born at all

Future is full of smoke

Born to lead and the need to think

I grab my lungs and I c-c-choke

What we take for granted can be taken away

Then you'll ask for more

You're still dropping bombs from a plane

Went down in the civil war

Drive the nails, yeah, drive them hard

Peace turns to war again

Crown of thorns and the crown of peace

Political battleship

Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in

And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end

Tell me you believe

Let's crown another beauty queen

Do you find it is so obscene

What about the homeless, the starving, the poor

No room for the sick, 'cause the rich want more

Lied to us and they lied to them

Breaks my heart inside

Took their hope and they stole their love

No life left in their eyes

Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in

And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end

Tell me you believe

Tell me you believe

I stand on this hill and I scream your name, yeah

It's something they tried to erase

Some say "Nothing lasts forever

We all run the risk of being lost"

Some hold on and some never thought to believe

We've gotta have bigger guns

Gotta find higher suns

One day you'll see the truth that you've been running from

We've gotta have bigger guns

Gotta find higher suns

One day you'll see the truth that you've been running from

Tell me you believe

Yeah, I believe in love

Yeah, I believe

It's all that we have left
