Bless 'Em All

We survived another night
Tortured by reflected light
All our battles are in the mind
Revenge is never without cost
Can't retrieve the things you lost
Please remind me what this war was for
To the south there's a storm tonight
Off to the east a force is rising
In the West we must agree to disagree

And the hail balls down hard
And the walls cry
Love is the cure
And the heart it breaks break breaks
Cracks in the sidewalk
Chase veins across freeways write
Love is the cure
As the earth it shakes shake shakes

Bless them all
Bless them all
Beyond understanding

Please don't let the fires go out
Hope's the antidote to doubt
Way too soon to say we've done our best
Luck has borne me in the West
I can choose to be oppressed
I mostly choose to feather my own nest
We came across in this awful light
Depends upon the lens you're using
We'll not go quietly you should know by now

 Bless them all, bless them all
Beyond understanding
Bless them all, bless them all
Beyond understanding

 Will someone please explain to me what makes a human being

Love is the cure

As the earth tilts 6°

We succumb to some dumb calling

One-man stand against tanks

Love is the cure

Let go and set yourself free

Towers falling slow motion

Sky scraping one by one

Love is the cure

For the land of the ill at ease

Lifted clean into the air in the fist of a twister

Love is the cure

Crash down on the sickening breeze

We built these walls piece by piece

Trade spawned, turtle speed

Love is the cure

Blown away in a blink or a sneeze

Through the land I breeze

Updrafts lift me

Love is the cure

From these heights I see
