Mercury Arc – Arm The Hopeless lyrics

My heroes are dead!
My mentors were wrong!
My idols are fiction!
What have I become?

Live by the sword, die by the sword,
Spilling blood in the name of the lord.
Holy war is the name of the game,
Different faiths, their plans are the same!
Religions are based on spreading the love.
Terror and war is what finally came off.
Tearing wounds that can never be healed.
Spreading the word, with shiniest steel!

Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill
For.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed.
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we
Believe.

My heroes are dead! My mentors were wrong!
My idols are fiction! What have I become?
This is war!

They say it's for the soldiers, the mothers, the
Freedom of others (... Nothing at all)
Our country, our brothers, who's screams are still
Smothered (... Nothing at all)
For payback with vengeance, the freedom we're given
(... Nothing at all)
For oil and for money, September 11th! (... Nothing at
All)

Their patriotism, their fight for the flag:
The pledge of allegiance bends their backs 'till they
Break.
They burn in the dessert, die on foreign ground,
They're searching for peace but war they have found.

Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill
For.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed.
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we believe
... Nothing at all.

Don't you wanna join their army?
Don't you wanna join their navy?
Don't you wanna be like Rambo?
Suicide commando!

You claim to be our rulers, so accept the fuckin'
Charge,
For patriots in body bags who died on your death march!
They call for war on terror! They call for war on war!
How can you sleep at night? What you decide makes bombs
Ignite!
This is war! (x4)

You're alibi to justify...
Arm the hopeless with false believes to live and kill
For.
We've been all deceived, cause we believed. We
Believed!
The blood on your plans leaves blood on your hands.
Sacrifice our sons for nothing at all. Still we
Believe...
... Still we believe in nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
