Well, it only took a moment
For the cages to explode
I say it must be released
From corruption of the soul, but oh Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah, we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before Buildings live and people die
War weary world It's the song of quiet courage
From the children of the night
That learned the price of freedom
They've learned to live to fight Have you heard the reasons why?
Yeah we've heard it all before
But have you seen the nation cry?
Yeah we've seen it all before Many times, many times
War weary world
War weary world Love breaks a man
Sends him ruin
Love rebuilds him
Brings him ruin It's a time of strange teaching
Hear the moanings of regret
From the schools of revolution
The stages have been set
Oh, but listen It seems wars are meant to happen
And pain is meant to be
But if hope is eternal
Then a hiding place for you and me Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before Buildings live and people die
War weary world
War weary world
