Dissonance & Dissent - A War for One Lyrics

The desire for one man's death results in hundreds, even thousands more
While the intention is revenge, the final action is war
Just because one man has power is his life greater than any other
Why do we fight at all, we are all humans, we are all brothers
While the leaders of a country feud it's the soldiers who must sacrifice
The president just makes decisions while the troops pay with their lives
Soldier meet face to face and either choose to kill or choose to die
They don't hate each other personally but they take each other's lives
It's a war for one, solution
It's a war for one, ambition
It's a war for one, expectation
It's a war for one, decision
Greed, corruption, and hate divide us until only rivalry exist
And century after century it seems the obvious message is missed
Killing, fighting, and war are not the recipe for a revolution
They only result in mass death and a temporary solution
Agreement and compromise no longer even seem to exist
And peace is dead as we settle our fights with our fists
Leaders claim they are men yet they fight like little children
And they feel no shame (Or guilt) sacrificing lives so they can win
It's a war for one, solution
It's a war for one, ambition
It's a war for one, expectation
It's a war for one, decision
Whether you're pulling the trigger or marching troops to their death
You are still contributing to the world's giant mess
You have the ability to drop your gun and to make the fire cease
We all have the power to reject war and accept peace
You can choose to be a pacifist or you can choose to be a leader's tool
And whether or not to march to your death like a fool
Killing is murder and war is slaughter
The world's hate is just evils fodder
It's a war for one, solution
It's a war for one, ambition
It's a war for one, expectation
It's a war for one, decision
It's a war for one
It's a war for one
It's a war for one
It's a war for
