[ghost]: 57.Primal Authority.Casualty of War

Frequent the cemeteries but
there's no cross to mark the grave where
our relationship was buried
the one that died when you went away and I
read the obituaries
to see if I recognize the names of
the deceased their burdens carried
by the loved ones left behind....
by the loved ones left alive

and I scream at the sky
why can't we end this fight?
that no one ever wins...
before it all starts over again!
We march into foreign lands
we torch the works of foreign hands
and assume that we are justified
in playing God with people's lives.

CHORUS:
We seethe with Government Issue hate,
we churn in our volatile mob mindset
and we move with reckless abandon for
what we don't think merits its existence
we change our ideals to fit the times
ideals that we claim we're fighting for
in the name of peace and justice
but nevermind this casualty of war!

Complete this apiary but
there's no one to work the land where
our tin sincerity was
forced apart by uncalloused hands, oh
what is it in me that carries
all the details of my past, so
even with these fading memories
I still cannot forget....
and I can't be whole again

and I dream, eye's awake
as nightmares haunt my days
that never seem to end...
in this eternal sphere of death
we dream of global happiness
and we preach on the need for tolerance
and assume that we are justified
in playing games with peoples minds.

CHORUS:
We seethe with Government Issue hate,
we churn in our volatile mob mindset
and we move with reckless abandon for
what we don't think merits its existence
we change our ideals to fit the times
ideals that we claim we're fighting for
in the name of peace and justice
but nevermind this casualty of war!
