It's Your Fate - Detente

Born into a class structure, rich man or slave at his feet

Bystander or maker of crime killing in war or doing time

The elders who possess the power build areals in defense

You pay the price for their fears their memories they won’t forget

It’s your fate, you don’t decide

It’s your fate, struggle just to survive

The verdict in long before the first breath filled your lungs

Tomorrow you’ll rise look around you wonder why

All you see in decay fate has not been kind

Holy war

Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you’re losing it’s well worth

the price

You’re on a mission for your god, and the innocents you take with you are

examples of us all

Holy war holy war you keep killing you don’t know who it’s for

I watch you soldier as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near

She takes her last breath

Then you unfold your leader’s picture, show him what you’ve done

Then you kiss his photo, praise his holy one

Holy war holy war you keep killing you don’t know what it’s for
