My Reason To Escape


We went from "Holy, Holy, Holy" to "Tora, Tora, Tora"

Celebrating suffering of another man

Celebrating death and violence

And the shedding of one another's blood

And everyone wonders why I want to escape

Why I want to escape to somewhere far, far away

Here is the answer

No one will stop shouting

And I hate, no loathe, the unneccesary noise of verbal war

That is why I want to escape

So the noise will stop

And there will once again be peace
