Billy Talent - This Is Our War Lyrics

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)
This is our war

Wash your mind out, where's your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?

We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war

Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power

We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our war

We're into the red, We're into the red
And as it burns the fire spreads
We're under the threat, We're under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow?

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war)

Once there was a nation divided
Now this is our war (This is our war)
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more
