Prisoner of war, prisoner of love
There's a torch to my head
Crimes of passion and crimes of youth
Stop the ringing in my head
Born again not born at all
The future is full of smoke
Born to lead the need to think
I grab my lungs and I choke

What we take for granted can be taken away
And then you ask for more
Your still dropping bombs from a plane
That went down in the civil war
Drive the nails, drive them hard
Peace turns to war again
Crown of thorns, crown of peace
Political battleship

Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in
And when the kingdom comes
It will bring it to an end
Tell me you believe

Let's crown another beauty queen
Do you find it so obscene
What about the homeless, the starving the poor
No room for the sick because the rich want more
They lied to us, they lied to them
Breaks my heart inside
Took their hope stole their love
No life left in their eyes

Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in
And when the kingdom comes
It will bring it to an end
Tell me you believe
Tell me you believe, yeah

I stand on this hill
And I scream your name, yeah
It's something they tried to erase
Some say nothing lasts forever
We all run the risk of being lost
Some hold on
And some thought to never believe
We've got bigger guns
We've got to find higher suns
One day you'll see the truth
That you've been running from
We've got bigger guns
We've got to find higher suns
One day you'll see the truth
That you've been running from

Tell me you believe
And I believe in love
And I believe
It's all that we have left
And I believe in love, ah
And I believe in love, ah
