Prisoner of war, prisoner of love, there's a torch to my head 

crimes of passion, crimes of youth, stop the ringing in my head 

born again, not born at all, the future is full of smoke 

born to lead, the need to think, I grab my lungs and I choke



What we take for granted can be taken away and then you ask for more you're still dropping bombs from a plane that went down in the civil war drive the nails, drive them hard, peace turns to war again crown of thorns, crown of peace, political battleship



Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in

And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end

Tell me you believe



Let's crown another beauty queen, do you find it so obscene 

what about the homeless, the starving, the poor, 

no room for the sick cause the rich want more 

they lied to us, they lied to them, 

breaks my heart inside 

took their hope, stole their love, 

no life left in their eyes



I stand on this hill and I scream your name

It's something they've tried to erase

Some say nothing lasts forever

We all run the risk of being lost

Some hold on and some never thought to believe



We've got to have bigger guns, we've got to find higher suns 

one day you'll see the truth that you've been running from 

tell me you believe, I still believe, 

I believe in love it's all that we have left
