This Is Our War Lyrics - Billy Talent

Once there was a nation here 

Now there is no more 

Once we fought to change our fears 

But now this is our war (This is our war) 

This is our war 

Wash your mind out, where's your morals? 

How many people have to live this sorrow? 

Life should not be begged or borrowed 

How many really want to change tomorrow? 

We're still playing the prideful game 

As we profile the enemy that we created 

We're still playing the prideful game 

With the cards on the table 

In the end we're all the same 

Where's the compassion in the world today? 

Yeah, we're all the same 

Until we find another way 

This is our war (This is our war) 

Once there was a nation here 

Now there is no more (This is our war) 

Once we fought for change arm in arm 

But now this is our war 

Divisive words from ivory towers 

Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers 

Countless fools and reckless cowards 

Rally the people in the quest for power 

We're still playing the prideful game 

As we profile the enemy that we created 

We're still playing the prideful game 

With the cards on the table 

In the end we're all the same 

Where's the compassion in the world today? 

Yeah, we're all the same 

Until we find another way 

This is our war (This is our war) 

Once there was a nation here 

Now there is no more (This is our war) 

Once we fought for change arm in arm 

But now this is our war 

Is this the land of segregation? 

Is this a place that we call home? 

Don't let the old style generation 

Carry the flag for you and me no more 

This is our war 

This is our war 

We're into the red, We're into the red 

And as it burns the fire spreads 

We're under the threat, We're under the threat 

Will it still burn tomorrow? 

Once there was a nation here 

Now there is no more 

Once we fought to change our fears 

But now this is our war (This is our war) 

Once there was a nation here 

Now there is no more (This is our war) 

Once we fought for change arm in arm 

But now this is our war 

Is this the land of segregation? 

Is this a place that we call home? 

Don't let the old style generation 

Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war) 

Once there was a nation divided 

Now this is our war (This is our war) 

Once we stand embraced arm in arm 

We stand for something more
