Why die for a lie

The architects of war has spoken once again
We must defend democracy
It's time for payback to the ones they call their friends
To please the weapon industries

And there you stand
Ready to die for freedom
Man, a simple man
Dying for shady reasons

You follow orders
Off you go to foreign shores
They call you to protect and serve
Licence to murder on the right side of the law
The country's set on red alert

Kill, kill or get killed
Nobody to hold on to
Hell, everyday hell
Torture and hate surround you

Why die for a lie
Die in a war
Dying for something not worth dying for
Why die for a lie

The war is won
But still you fight on foreign fields
While everything around you dies

Cry, inside you cry
Mentally hurt and shattered
Dead, emotionally dead
Survival is all that matters

Why die for a lie
Die in a war
Dying for something not worth dying for
Why die for a lie

And when you're coming home
You still hear the screaming
You're suffering alone
You still feel the pain

Why die for a lie
Die in a war
Dying for something not worth dying for
Why die for a lie
Die in a war
Why die for a lie
