This is the story of an American mental journey from a hawk to a dove. The song begins on 9/11 as I felt the rage and sought out vengeance in any form. As the months went by the US took out that aggresson with invasion of Iraq, I realized that it left me feeling even more hallow. I began to believe again that an eye for an eye is a barbaric tenet that we need to evolve beyond in order to save mankind.

The alarm seemed
terribly loud this morning
My TV repeats my darkest dream
It plays it again and again
pummeling me with hatred
Infusing me with a new found need for revenge
A violent shift of ideals
maybe we should take the wheel mow the whole planet down and mold it as our own
Maybe I'll just go along
Maybe I'll no longer question
I will trust them to keep this from happening again

But wait a minute
I cannot believe what I said
In the days to come we came undone, became just as evil as them
It's easy to recognize a pattern
take a good look within as we take all our fear out on them

Its a God Damned holy war
Its 1000 years old or more
They're just setting the stage for a new dark age
This planet can't take another
Its an oxymoronic war
You cannot stomp out terror with terror
And you cant buy your freedom with murder

The pain of that day cannot be destroyed by exacting the same onto other civilians, I will not partake in that lie
I would rather die
then say we must murder to further our God chosen way of life.

Its a God Damned holy war
Its 1000 years old or more
They're just setting the stage for a new dark age
This planet can't take another
Its an oxymoronic war
You cannot stomp out terror with terror
And you cant buy your freedom with murder
