When Nothing Remains Lyrics - Bound For Glory

Three young dead in an arson attack 

Their youthfull life stolen away 

It's the same headlines heard so many times before 

Why do the innocent have to pay? 

Do you think to them religion really mattered 

So much that they'd be killing for? 

Innocent victims caught in the crossfire 

Now casualties of an insane war 

How many tears? How much sorrow? 

How many hearts are broken? 

I keep asking myself why? 

How many more treaties, with useless words spoken? 

If we don't stop it now 

We are all destined to die 

Hundreds of years of fratricidal wars 

Fighting for ancient lands 

Ethnic hatreds reach to extremes 

As man kills his fellow man 

Brother kills brother on the battlefield 

Their blood and destruction feeds the rich 

While the ones who finance the slaughter 

Escape the blame without a hitch 

For how much greed and for how much money 

Have we been sold? 

At whose expense must we die? 

What's to believe when all promises have been broken? 

And everything we hear 

Is a goddamn lie 

I don't see a future on the path we follow 

A path plagued by death and pain 

Please why can't you tell me who has won 

When nothing remains? 

Wake up and see, I'm not the enemy 

Who has won when nothing remains? 

Learn from your history, hate does not kill hate 

Who has won when nothing remains? 

Why can't you believe, you have so much to learn 

Now you've turned your back on where you came from 

Do you think there's lessons to be learned 

While you sink, nothing remains
