A War Never Won

A permanent disguise hid within the eyes Paint a vivid picture of our lives We look into the future and kneel to one knee We plea for absolution and judgment to be It's not the cross you bear, of some you should beware And I can see that you don't really care We’ve turned up every stone and we've swam through every sea We’ve shattered all our hopes and what they mean With a loaded gun You'll wonder what you've done It’s a war never won, it's a war never won Look outside yourself, you're not an empty shell You’ll find that you're not like anyone else And the portrait turns to dust and your faith begins to rust Everything you've sought has been of lust I'm not your savior, I'm not your saint I'm just the liar that fills your heart with hate Do you hide in the darkness, do you live for the rain Wash away our sins and stop the endless pain Do we pray to the heavens do we pray to the gods There’s no resolution to a war never won War never won
