Empires Falling (original song lyrics)

Take a look inside
The war machine
Don’t cover up your eyes
The truth stinging
The dead, they don’t lie
Their screams echoing
In the halls of my mind
Visions haunting

Pre-chorus
This quiet desparation
Welling up in me
So sick of wars destruction
Where’s the humanity?

Another baby dies
Bombs exploding
Can you hear the distant cries?
A mother’s grieving
Take the bullet from your eye
See reality
Aggression in the night
And occupying

Pre-chorus
This quiet desparation
Welling up in me
So sick of wars destruction
Where's the humanity?

Chorus
War is not peace and peace is not war
But 1984 is still knocking at the door
Empires come and empires go
Like Rome, we are falling
One day we’re going to fall

Solo

Chorus

Take a look inside......the war machine

Comment by Sweettina2 on June 24, 2011 at 2:19am: I love it Tara! Well spoken.

Comment by Tara on February 27, 2011 at 11:38pm: Thanks Keith and Nynke! You will definetely be hearing the music to these lyrics hopefully sooner than later. We're just waiting on our drummer to get his tracks laid down. He can be a little whiney and has the tendancy to make up excuses but we love him nonetheless. All he needs is a good kick in the arse from time to time, lol. Once his tracks are laid down the rest will all fall into place.....exciting times indeed!

Comment by Keith Lee on February 27, 2011 at 9:11pm: Great Lyrics Tara!

I see their there are other song writers on this site. I'd love to hear the music to these lyrics someday.

Comment by Nynke Etk Fokma on February 27, 2011 at 3:53pm: Can't wait to hear it!

Comment by Tara on February 27, 2011 at 1:40pm: Eventually Nynke, once my band is finished with the recording of this song and the others we are working on right now, I'll post the song in the Music Wars Group with a direct link to it here.

Comment by Nynke Etk Fokma on February 27, 2011 at 12:36pm: Tara, how about you upload it elsewhere, and then link to it here?

Comment by Tara on January 7, 2011 at 7:04pm: Thanks everybody, all you 12160 peeps keep spurring me on to keep on a writing, especially about anti NWO related issues! I wish I could share a practice session of this song here but for some reason the file load seems to be too big to share in the comment section......bummer! Maybe I'll have to try to figure a way around this all. Techie minded folks to the rescue, lol!
