Ominum - Monument I Lyrics

Massive tension growing in the air
Suspended animation, peace hanging by a hair
Down goes the heir, it's time to pin the blames
And like a match unto a fuse the world ignites in flames
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command
Bodies that surround me make me question what it's worth?
The lives that we throw away some twenty years from birth
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command
What if they would face their own guns?
What if they would send their own sons?
What if we had more to die for?
What if they would fight their own wars?
What if we would bow to no crown?
What if we turned our guns around?
What if we would tear them all down?
What if?
Cut down in our prime, no reason and no rhyme
Names carved in shrines, great crime of our time
Bodies piled that represent honour's bitter end
Let this stand as a monument, never to repeat again
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command

Massive tension growing in the air
Suspended animation, peace hanging by a hair
Down goes the heir, it's time to pin the blames
And like a match unto a fuse the world ignites in flames
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command
Bodies that surround me make me question what it's worth?
The lives that we throw away some twenty years from birth
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command
What if they would face their own guns?
What if they would send their own sons?
What if we had more to die for?
What if they would fight their own wars?
What if we would bow to no crown?
What if we turned our guns around?
What if we would tear them all down?
What if?
Cut down in our prime, no reason and no rhyme
Names carved in shrines, great crime of our time
Bodies piled that represent honour's bitter end
Let this stand as a monument, never to repeat again
Time to fight, we're going off to war
It's time to fight, like our fathers did before
Make a stand for country and for land
Follow the hand and fire at command
