The Longest Road - Aviators

Sticks and stones took a toll on me

But they aren’t your strongest weaponry

You can take your shots but you best prepare

I can see smoke rising in the air

Every move has a counter act

To turn the tides with a planned attack

You push me down, and the rest will rise

But first I’m singing a battle cry

Fuses burn and wheels will turn

The ones who lie will never learn

It’s all been done a dozen times

The ones who lie pay for their crimes

Now it’s time to tell the truth

The darkest hearts aren’t bulletproof

The guns are drawn and your weakness showed

The path to war is the longest road

Scars and wounds from the battleground

Mark the moments that our drive was found

I’ve been beaten down in ages past

And I have seen how long the fire will last

Fleeting thoughts don’t take the prize

And I’ve seen the doubt within your eyes

When the movement comes and the people rise

I’ll be the first one leading the battle cry

Fuses burn and wheels will turn

The ones who lie will never learn

It’s all been done a dozen times

The ones who lie pay for their crimes

Now it’s time to tell the truth

The darkest hearts aren’t bulletproof

The guns are drawn and your weakness showed

The path to war is the longest road

Spent centuries forgetting

This bloodstained path you’re setting

You know I’ve seen it all before

Those with the constitution

To stand for revolution

Write what the future has in store

Don’t hide the lies we can see

Don’t feed the fire within me

You strike me down and I’ll be rising once again

Don’t doubt the fear that you know

Don’t miss what history shows

The war path will lead us to your end

Fuses burn and wheels will turn

The ones who lie will never learn

It’s all been done a dozen times

The ones who lie pay for their crimes

Now it’s time to tell the truth

The darkest hearts aren’t bulletproof

The guns are drawn and your weakness showed

The path to war is the longest road
