We almost had the breath to hold the details
But were cradled in a coffin so bleak
The smile will never see is drowning
Cause the heart we could have loved will never be
If you listen closely you can see
The beating of the death drums
If you're looking closely you will hear
War, give me war, Give me war
How deep must we dive to find it?
To the ends of the world we could seek
The game so it seems is in the hiding
While the thrones give a power that shouldn't be
If there's war fought within the heavens
How can we expect peace on earth where we sleep?
As long as humans live they'll want more
War, give me war, give me war
So fight for earth, fight for freedom
Fight for lies we surely need them
War for honor, war for pain
War for Ill gotten gained
Hopes curse bathes men in denial
Forcing them to seek things that can never be
Histories song stuck in idle
Listen closely as it repeats
War, give me war, give me war

I would like to translate this poem
The game so it seems is in the hiding While the thrones give a power that shouldn't be This week, America backs another Tyrant in Saudi Arabia, the Russians got their paws digging deep within the Ukraine, China strips rights like its a Texas goldmine, My Prime Minister is a man who would betray is own constituents just to get the elected votes of Quebecers and Ontarians, a bunch of religious fundies are running around the middle east using violence as a hotline to God, and the public live in the paradise of denial, yep I think you got it cover with war, the only one who wins in war is death, and even he gets a hangover of it.
