Distant thunder echoes then a shaft of light Breaks the spell of darkness, is this the sign the end's in sight? Came with it all worked out, we know what's best for you Lead you to the Promised Land, we are the way, we are the truth Going to takes us all to the wall So what the hell we fighting for? Is there ever any reason When wasted lives leave mothers grieving In the name of the cause And as the searing sun beats down Another city taken down In the name of the cause Burning heat, the desert sun, walk the streets, a smoking gun Pray to god, what have we done? The fighting rages on and on I just need a reason, don't want your lies Feels like open season, justify why I should die Going to takes us all to the wall So what the hell we fighting for? Is there ever any reason When wasted lives leave mothers grieving In the name of the cause And as the searing sun beats down Another city taken down In the name of the cause
