You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war, people, people, people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war, people, people, people

Not clear
Not now
Not here
Oh my, oh dear
I don't know where
I am, I am, I am
I'm at a party
I remember a party
Tonight I'm gonna lose control
Boom
An explosion
People are frozen
Pictures of panic
Painted onto their poses
I am beholden for this mess, mess
All this distress
All this unrest
I'm running, searching for the general, is he to blame?
And all the people, they are screaming, I can hear my name
Time slows, and I know I don't feel the same
And I'm running for a reason that I can't explain
Hold my hand
And walk with me
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
Come and disappear with no fear what it be like
Hold my hand and have mercy
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
Vanish into air, come and stare into the light
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war, people, people, people

Insane
My mind
My brain fails to explain
The pictures I'm seeing
Willow, black dress, mascara running
Tears on her cheek, and a preacher says something
Morning sky looking dreary like a painting
Painted by a guy whose demise was waiting
Boom
An explosion, coffin is open
Willow all alone on her own in an ocean
Of sad-looking soldiers
Lost without orders
I stretch my neck to see if I can get a glimpse of him
Is Venice lying dead when I should have been next to him?
I see a body, how could this get the best of him?
I wish somebody else was lying there instead of him
Hold my hand and walk with me
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
Come and disappear with no fear what it be like
Hold my hand and have mercy
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
Vanish into air, come and stare into the light
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war, people, people, people
Second to the life, just slow down, slow down, slow down (you never wish war on a people)
Second to the life, just slow down, slow down, slow down (you never wish war on a people)
Second to the life, just slow down, slow down, slow down (you never wish war on a people)
Second to the life, just slow down, slow down, slow down (you never wish war on a people)
The puzzle pieces swirl and snap to place
My stomach eats itself, I see my own face
Am I (wait?)
Can I wait?
Has something already determined my fate?
Time gives way, am I too late?
I am death personified
You must be terrified
Now you are verified
Whoa let me clarify
Time is ripped open, your mind has been chosen, the lines have been drawn
So fly to the dawn
On and on gone while the dead sings her song
Come along
Now take two steps
Take one breath
Just accept
Your own death
Take two steps
Take one breath
Just accept
Your own death
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war on a people
You never wish war, people, people, people
