Only The Dead Have Seen The End Of War Lyrics - Orphaned Land

The prophet has told us that his truth will set us free 

He is the blind messiah who cannot find 

His way or see the forest for the trees 

Even the one who saw the light could not foresee 

Shields held high the armies moved on and on 

To the next land that to bloodshed was sworn 

Oh father - heed us in the time of great need 

Remember our prayers and our virtuous deeds 

Only the dead have seen the end of war

Make him the prophet, the martyr - pass him the disease 

Shut are the eyes of the one bringing us to our knees 

The prophet enlightened now covered by night 

It serves an example rather blind than having the sight 

Let us burn this scapegoat and gather our might 

Let this messiah now die, thus ending our plight

Remember the warnings you gave to no end 

And the mask that you wore to disguise as a friend 

Gone is the savior, no more you pretend 

Only the dead have seen the end of war 

Evening falls upon us and the future is dim 

So the only thing that will save us is to kill him!
