The War
Rising Tides of Change: The Battle for Love and Prosperity
Lyrics
The rising tides of change are coming
The impending changes are approaching like rising tides.
They're in the air and all around
Change is pervasive and can be sensed everywhere.
The big charade is all too dumb
The significant deception is foolish or absurd.
And the age of sliver going down
The era of uncertainty and decline is symbolized by "sliver."
For economic prosperity they're using the youth
Economic prosperity is pursued by exploiting the youth.
The corporate media won't tell you the truth
The truth is concealed by corporate media.
Wage the war
A call to engage in a conflict or struggle.
Wage the war for nothing and all
The war is waged for no meaningful purpose.
No difference between you and me
No distinction exists between individuals.
Like rays of sunlight from above
A positive image of unity, like sunlight shining down.
It's coming on and evidently
An impending event is becoming apparent.
This war of hate is won by love
A message that love triumphs over the war fueled by hate.
For economic prosperity they're using the youth
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the exploitation of youth for prosperity.
The corporate media won't sell you the truth
The truth is not disclosed by the corporate media.
Wage the war
A repetition of the call to engage in a conflict or struggle.
Wage the war for nothing and all
Reiterating that the war is purposeless.
Wage the war
Another repetition of the call to engage in a conflict or struggle.
Wage the war for nothing and all
Continued emphasis that the war serves no purpose.
You know that the day is dawning
A new day is beginning, suggesting hope or change.
When all of the walls come crashing down
The collapse of established structures and systems is imminent.
Hit the ground
Action is required as things fall apart.
It's our home that we're recalling
A reflection on the importance of home and collective memory.
A place for the living and unbound
A space for those who are alive and unrestrained.
And no playground
No place for leisure or diversion.
On which to
Transition to the next thought or idea.
Wage the war
Reiteration of the call to engage in a conflict or struggle.
Wage the war for nothing and all
Emphasizing again that the war has no purpose.
Wage the war
Continued emphasis on the futility of the war.
Wage the war for nothing and all
Reiterating that the war serves no meaningful purpose.
