"This Is War" lyrics

Hate begins inside the lie
A spark to start division deep inside
They work to form an evil plan
To buy and sell the soul of every man

They wrap a chain around your neck
And hide behind their walls
It's not enough to have too much
They want to take it all

Fight for the end of madness
Ride for the sword will rise once more
This is war!
Run to the end of pain and
Rage till the fire burns once more
This is war!

A promise made for equal rights
To keep the mass delusion out of sight
And reaching for an open hand
But there's no solid ground
On which to stand

Ask the leaders they all know
It comes as no surprise
What becomes of such deceit
They fool you with their lies

Fight for the end of madness
Ride for the sword will rise once more
This is war!
Run to the end of pain and
Rage till the fire burns once more
This is war!

They've got control within their sights
An iron hand to crush the will to fight

They wrap a chain around your neck
And hide behind their walls
It's not enough to have too much
They want to take it all
