Lyrics
VERSE I
What is it here that the world must have
What is it we will gain
Standing ground with our weapons in our hands playing a political game
The powers that be moving Knights and Pawns It's a real Chess game we could be losers all
Now hold your breath and shield your eyes something's blowing in the wind hear the spirits cry
CHORUS
I don't understand it
Is it really all its worth
Young men die for a grain of sand This land must be cursed
Help me understand it
The blood that spills for truth Babies crying for their mothers arms Trying to escape.......... The Curse
VERSE III
Learn from the past all the scholars say Learn to survive it's a human trait
All wars won have a winner none
All lives lost for religious dirt
Isn't strange how we never learn
We do it again lets find a different cure
Now hold your breath and shield your eyes something's blowing in the wind hear the spirits cry
REFRAIN
The Circle starts revolving and the psyche's re-arranged
Underscored by history
Repeating vicious games
Innocence is taught to blend
Disrupted through the years
Wildly spun we shield our face
then justify those fears
