Waracle Lyrics - Ayreon

AYREON SINGS OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE COUNTLESS WARS TO COME, 

AND THE ABSURDITY OF THE FINAL ANNIHILATION BY THE PUSH OF JUST ONE BUTTON 

BY JUST ONE MAN. 

[AYREON:] 

echoes of a thousand screams 

smoke, blood and fire 

a deserted battlefield 

millions of men will die 

at one man's desire 

and the docile mass will yield 

all through the ages 

men will die before their time 

in an everlasting war 

as long as man is taught 

that war is not a crime 

man will fight for evermore 

out of the ashes 

a war-lord will arise 

and tyrannize the land 

his reign of terror 

will cost many a sacrifice 

an inferno is at hand 

all through the centuries 

men will be caged 

in the name of liberty 

as long as man shall live 

wars will be waged 

or will we ever be set free? 

Set me free! 

the road to ruin 

gets shorter all the time 

as technology will improve 

it takes but one man 

to commit the ultimate crime 

and make the final move
