The Crossfire

When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer Our lives become a waiting game If there was ever a way It only leads me to wonder If it's as simple as you say If it's as simple as you say If it's as simple as When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer We'll curse the names of those that led us here Where blood once stained the earth From homes reduced to ash and dust The only known survivors left to burn For all our sins, scapegoats to the cause Charred remains in unmarked graves Biding time 'til karma takes its course (takes its course) It only leads me to wonder If it's as simple as you say You promised us a better tomorrow (tomorrow) I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time) If our only hope is to beg and to borrow We'll cut our losses There's nothing left to leave behind (There's nothing left to leave behind) How dare you ask me to stand alone Against this onslaught, the oncoming hordes When I have watched as history reaps and sows? Only bloodshed, a symphony of restless souls The mind's eye is a terrible liar We lowered our guard, now we're caught in the crossfire Battered, broken and bruised Tattered and torn, we refuse to expire We're caught in the crossfire When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer We'll curse the names of those that led us here You promised us a better tomorrow (a better tomorrow) I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time) If our only hope is to beg and to borrow We'll cut our losses There's nothing left to leave behind A God's hand has a will of its own But still you ask me to stand alone (stand alone) I'm not equipped to face this on my own
