(feat. Tim McIlrath of Rise Against)




We request to negotiate

We come to you unarmed

We desire to communicate

You cannot do us harm



For one sacrifice,

they have schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife

I've got an appetite

for nice things and the dreams that my enemies could be blasted by

Ooh metaphors

Views that are better for you can't survive or find your competitor

Rise together

Ooh Fight separate wars i pray I'm never forced to be a predator



Suspecting we won't last

They're glad to hate but gladiators breed their last

Scream or mash for their dreams do clash

Like swords in the war let me bleed on that

Put the heat on that

Cept we need strong backs

You call us weak and don't redeem contracts

Well this speech won't last

If the beast attacks

The sons and the fathers will be free at last



This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason



They see sharks in the estuary

They claim the arch of Bartholomew's

They say war is necessary

But we say war is child abuse



We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)

White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)



Take to the core they're the one's we've been waiting for

We hold steady, steady on the step of door

The type of you are matadors and matadors are capable

Forgive the death and settle scores and test the metal and the ore



What's your plan go to do with me?

If the bell told us let freedom ring

And find the new ways that we must be king

Instead of leading the young to our suffering



The past test of this

Now screams back in heaven

For testing us like wednesdays at 11

Want to recruit and train us to act evilly

Save it for the shooting range

So back DVD



Just tell me want no more this millennia

It's never again for me or anyone

So think harder when you refer to us

Rather make our children martyrs than murders



This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason



They shell dwellings to quell the shellings

And lift taboos and seduce the countings

They say we're too yellow bellied

But we say we're the new superpower



We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)

White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)



We seek ways to not be liable

We claim to speak for a higher truth

We stand opposed to the homicidal

We tell you you are fire proof



We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)

White Flag

Warriors

We'd rather make our children

We'd rather make our children



Do what you want to our courage

Ask us what you will

Demand from us a sacrifice

But do not make us kill
