If You Want Peace (Prepare for War) - Pretty Maids

Is this the last day of our house?

The dogs of war are coming out

Thrive on profit, blood and oil

Sacrifice on foreign soil you know

Heartless tactics, methods cruel

Blood and fire is the fuel to decline

If you want peace prepare for war

Face the truth and hit the floor

You’ll see history repeat itself

The guns are drawn and shields are raised

When common sense has gone to waste

It’s seen before, we know it all too well

And so the endgame’s drawing near

We see the world dissolve in wrath and fear

Vulture culture, barefaced lies

We demolish, pulverize with intent

Cynicism dead and blown

Shattered lives in killing zones again

And as I watch the graveyard generation slide

Stumbling like walking dead, all devoid of life

If you want peace prepare for war

Face the truth and hit the floor

You’ll see history repeat itself

The guns are drawn and shields are raised

When common sense has gone to waste

It’s seen before, we know it all too well

Nothing’s sacred, all astray

Ride a world we cannot save

Bombs away and blow it all to hell
