Today, as you read this another 394.000 children were born into this world...
They break like waves of hunger and desire upon these eroded lands, carrying the curses of history, a history that is yet unwritten...
The oil burns in the thick, black columns - the buzz saws echo through the forest floor...
They shout "give us a fair share, give us justice"
...here comes the war...

On a grey morning to the south of here, two young men in makeshift uniforms peer into the misty light and figures dart behind the trees as a ship of rifles round echos out across the fields...
Well they hardly know their secret mother tongue...but they know their duty to defend the flag hanging limp and bloody above the village church...
While a thousand miles away in a warehouse complex down the river...young money men play painfull games
...here comes the war

Put on the lights on the age of reason...blow out the candle and tell us another of those great stories...the once about serial killers...
Let dreams flow into savage times...
Do you hear the sirens scream across the city, we've had three hot nights in succession..the riot reason is here again...
Dear brother, lead us back into the valley of shadows of death
...here comes the war

Do you think, we were born in peaceful times?
Faster,faster...like a whirrling dish spinning round...faster,faster...until the centre cannot hold...faster, faster...
You screamed "give us liberty or give us death"...
Now you've got both... What do you want next?
...here comes the war

For God's sake. let us put on the lights on the age of reason...
I, for one will keep the light of peace burning brightly....
