Can you see what you've become?

Hiding yourself behind a loaded gun

You will never feel true love

Living in the shadow of the sun

The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees

And who will lead with compassion in their hands?



Break, break away

Break from the past, break from everything you know

Take, take away

Take from the dead, they are living proof



Try to breathe the smoke-filled air

Haunted by the voices of the dead

You will never win the war

Or wash away the blood that has been shed

The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees

And who will lead with compassion in their hands?



Break, break away

Break from the past, break from everything you know

Take, take away

Take from the dead, they are living proof



Break, break away

Break from the past, break from everything you know

Take, take away

Take from this life; it’s the only fucking truth



To the cowards who sit back and watch

Fathers become a casualty notch:

Where are they now the truth is out?



To the mothers who grieve and cry

While their children fight back and die:

Where are they now the truth is out?



Break, break away

Break from the past, break from everything you know

Take, take away

Take from the dead, they are living proof



Break, break away

Break from the past, break from everything you know

Take, take away

Take from this life; it’s the only fucking truth



This is the only fucking truth
