Prophets of War Lyrics

Dream Theater

It burns deep down inside of me We have ourselves to blame Not questioning Accepted as the truth
Debate this fight it's just cause The facts do not supports theirs To liberate a people And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change? Are we closer than before? Can we help them break away? Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change? Intrigued, got your attention Deceived, since the inception Our brave fight for what reason
Compelled, can we clean up this mess The loss of loved ones a perverse request They continue the same rhetoric These derelicts that profit, win or lose
Is it time to make a change? Are we closer than before? Can we help them break away? Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change? Time for change Fight the fear, find the truth Time for change
The only thing that I believe Will help us see this through is faith Pray they will forgive, forgive our arrogance So we can make it right, right what they have wronged
See you sweat unexpected, controversial Get used to it, things are gonna get personal Your sympathy, a pitiful display you stutter Your empathy means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible of this you are incapable We implicate, incriminate, exacerbate, too much at stake Our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters Forced, perpetuating their ideals, a mindless act to stay the course
Is it time to make a change? Are we closer than before? Can we help them break away? Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change? Are we closer than before? Can we help them break away? Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change? A change from what it's been? Can we help them break away? Is our patience wearing thin?
It's time to make a change? Time for change Fight the fear, find the truth Time for change

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

As an expert in Argumentation Frameworks I'm glad Dream Theater members realized and made explicit some of the dialogical concepts used by advertisers.

As a Military Advisor to the Iraqis for the last 11 months I empathize with some of Mike's frustration when he wrote this song. This place and many of these Iraqis can be extremely frustrating at times. But I also have had man perspectives that Mike Portnoy hasn't, his main source of war inteligence has been from the far left liberal NY news media. Basicly I like how he raises the questions throughout the song, just not quite on track with the conclusions. DT is the most awesome band ever, even in a song without a guitar solo. Jeff Oden
