Broken Ocean - Kingdom of Giants

You can see them for miles

You can count them for days

Overlooking the ground where the dead soldiers lay

There is a lesson to be learned from this

The gathering clouds of war can be extinguished

How far are you willing to take this

How far are you willing to go

Are you ready to go

Whether we win or lose

We’ve lost too much to compare the two

Whose side are you, whose side are you on?

Don’t let the small smudges blur out the big picture

You fucking be the one to tell their mothers

Their sons are never coming home

You try to wash the blood off your hands

But the oil’s too thick it won’t come clean

It seems you’ve tried everything

From black water to gasoline

We are staring down the mother of all messes

This is so ridiculous

Do you have any idea what our children have in store?

They will be fighting our wars

Paying our debts

They will suffer the outcome of our own regrets

And it’s a sad fact to face to know

That this is the truth

Their words stagger like a drunken man

Manipulative like the bottle in his hand

Is the the world I see in front of me

A world before

Is this the world I see in front of me

A world of war

This is a game of chess and we are all the pawns

It’s just a pattern they expect us to follow

It’s just a pill they give that’s too big to swallow

You try to wash the blood off your hands

But the oil’s too thick it won’t come clean

It seems you’ve tried everything

From black water to gasoline

So tell their mothers their sons are never coming home

You fucking be the one to bring that news back home

Self righteous you stand on your hill at the top

It’s a beautiful view but how much did it cost

You can see them for miles

You can count them for days

Over looking the ground where the dead soldiers lay

Some young and some old, a family a friend

These are women these are children

What will it take for an end.
