Power

On the mark targets hit beyond repair.
Leaving no trace of life once there. 
Mounting spoils of a long relentless siege
just to prove our vast supremacy.

Chorus:
Power has a way of makin' everybody crazy.
Power cons a foolish man into bein' lazy.   
Power fills the weakened heart with suspicion.
Power is a lethal drug that's addictin'.  
                     
Feeling free as we watch the sun descend.
Playing dumb; accustomed to pretend
for her good our forces we deploy.
No remorse for what we have destroyed.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
We've got the power to build or to destroy.
All this power but what is it used for.
There's no denying it's time to make a choice.            
Stop crucifying the Mother of all life.

The setting sun seems to force a feeble smile 
as she soothes her undeserving child.
Yet she knows on us she must rely
if her world and ours is to survive.

Power
