There's a dark heart parked out in your destiny

Ready to whisk you off from where you long to be

The heat and fear inside you burn needlessly

There's a bad road laid out and I wonder do we really see

There are old men pushing young ones where they don't need to be



There's a dark heart growing from an evil seed

A young face is cold and told to rest in peace

Families that wait back home get news of tragedy

But then you pop right up and say

These kids must go and do what's right

You give your orders all day

How do you lay your head down and sleep at night

But all the arm chair warriors are the bravest

'Cause they don't go and fight



Are we falling

Into the traps of a war

Falling toward what is wrong

Reaching beyond what we have learned

To touch the souls of those now gone



There's a dark heart moving throughout this world of ours

Pushed on through time by greed and a lust for power

What once was need is now uncontrolled desire

but all the hot shot leaders handing orders out

Will never take advice

Because the pockets of the rich

Are being filled each time another soldier dies
