Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken / soft piano]
Look around…
How many names does it take
Before we admit the ink ran out?
⸻
[Verse 1 – Fast rap]
I was raised on stories of glory and grit
Of men with a mission and powder that spit
But nobody mentioned the cost of the lie
Or how many mothers just quietly cried
You draw up a line, call it “honor” and “land”
Put a weapon in trembling, unready hands
Say “fight for your country,” but what does that mean?
When the soil gets soaked in the blood of the teens?
We write up the orders in cursive and gold
But the letters come back with the edges all cold
Every signature’s neat, every speech is rehearsed
But the front line truth is a thousand times worse
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – building emotion]
You say it’s a duty, say it’s for peace
But peace don’t come from a trigger release
⸻
[Chorus – melodic, powerful]
Oh—
We keep on trading lives for pride
While the truth gets buried on either side
Tell me who’s winning when mothers cry?
War don’t make heroes, it multiplies graves
Oh—
We paint it noble, dress it in lies
But it’s just young souls we’re sacrificing
If freedom’s the goal, then why does it feel
Like we’re all just losing in different ways?
⸻
[Verse 2 – Faster, sharper flow]
History books got a glamorous tone
But they skip over bones that were never brought home
They glorify generals, battles, and schemes
But never the soldiers who died in between
A pawn on a board, just a number to call
While the ones at the top never risk it at all
They shake hands in suits while the bombs hit the ground
And the echo of silence is the loudest sound
You call it “defense,” they call it “attack”
Different perspectives, same body count stack
If God’s on your side and He’s on theirs too
Then tell me—who’s He supposed to choose?
⸻
[Bridge – spoken / slow, emotional]
We inherit the anger, we carry the flame
But nobody stops just to question the game
If we’re all human—if we all bleed red…
Why are we taught to aim for the head?
⸻
[Breakdown – soft singing → building]
Lay down the rifles, pick up a pen
Rewrite the ending again and again
‘Til the only thing falling is hatred and pride
And the only thing rising is truth we can’t hide
⸻
[Final Chorus – full ensemble feel]
Oh—
We keep on trading lives for pride
Drawing more borders, dividing the lines
Tell me who’s winning when history repeats?
War don’t make peace—it just makes more grief
Oh—
No more excuses, no more disguise
No more sending the young to die
If we really want change, then we gotta admit—
War ain’t brave…
…it’s just dumb as it gets.
⸻
[Outro – quiet]
So put down the drums…
And listen to the silence.
