Why Die for a Lie - Pretty Maids

The architects of war has spoken once again

We must defend democracy

It’s time for payback to the ones they call their friends

To please the weapon industries

And there you stand

Ready to die for freedom

Man, a simple man

Dying for shady reasons

You follow orders

Off you go to foreign shores

They call you to protect and serve

Licence to murder on the right side of the law

The country’s set on red alert

Kill, kill or get killed

Nobody to hold on to

Hell, everyday hell

Torture and hate surround you

Why die for a lie

Die in a war

Dying for something not worth dying for

Why die for a lie

The war is won

But still you fight on foreign fields

While everything around you dies

Cry, inside you cry

Mentally hurt and shattered

Dead, emotionally dead

Survival is all that matters

Why die for a lie

Die in a war

Dying for something not worth dying for

Why die for a lie

And when you’re coming home

You still hear the screaming

You’re suffering alone

You still feel the pain

Why die for a lie

Die in a war

Dying for something not worth dying for

Why die for a lie

Die in a war

Why die for a lie
