Lyrics

Another lesson has been learned,

Reflecting on a learned lesson.

In this days' modern times,

Commenting on the present era.

Strangers in the mist appear,

Referring to unidentified individuals in a mysterious context.

Now there's war, all the time,

Expressing a constant state of war.

Systematically go and destroy,

Describing a systematic destruction process.

Commit another atrocity,

Committing another act of extreme cruelty.

Aggressors are in their places,

Identifying aggressors in their designated positions.

Man-made catastrophe.

Highlighting a catastrophic outcome caused by humans.


I'm not looking for a fight now,

Expressing a desire to avoid conflict.

And I don't care who's wrong or right now,

Indifferent to determining right or wrong.

So release the dove into flight now,

Symbolically releasing a dove, a sign of peace.

So we can start right now,

Encouraging an immediate start to positive action.

We can start right now.

Reinforcing the urgency to commence positive change.


A small key's gonna open the door,

Describing a journey to a new territory.

Across the border to a new land,

Emphasizing challenges in the new land.

And in the new land a sand storm roars,

Referencing enchantment and the presence of a ghostly figure.

Under spell and the ghost of a man,

Describing a group's commitment to a place.

A pack of men, they're yours to stay,

Noting unheeded prayers in a foreign land.

Their prayers fall upon deaf ears,

Connecting Machiavelli with destructive power.

Machiavelli owns a machine gun now,

Observing manipulation through masks and puppets.

And I see it in the mask and a puppeteer.

Empty line, no specific meaning provided.


I'm not looking for a fight now,

Remaining indifferent to right or wrong.

And I don't care who's wrong or right now,

Symbolizing the release of peace through a dove.

So release the dove into flight now,

Urging an immediate start to positive actions.

So we can start right now,

Reinforcing the urgency for positive change.

We can start right now.

Empty line, no specific meaning provided.


Humanity has no blame in this case, this big game of chess for us all,

Describing the fallout of hostility affecting the entire world.

Hostility explodes in the mess, now your arm got blood all over the world,

Turning clear days into dark, referencing the impact on prisoners of war.

And clear day turns to dark, blindfolding prisoners of war,

Highlighting the precarious nature of solidarity.

And solidarity, on the razor's edge, boy, what? You're a big puncher now, right?

Challenging the perception of being a powerful figure.

Yeah?... Ha!...Nah...I don't fucking think so!

Rejecting the notion with a dismissive laugh.

Ha ha ha!

Empty line, no specific meaning provided.


I'm not looking for a fight now,

Remaining indifferent to right or wrong.

And I don't care who's wrong or right now,

Symbolically releasing peace through a dove.

So release the dove into flight now,

Urging an immediate start to positive actions.

So we can start right now,

Reinforcing the urgency for positive change.

We can start right now.

Final emphasis on the need for immediate positive action.
