Turning around
Ripped to pieces
Finding myself a soul
These are the things
That make all good people
Not whole

In a time of battles and endless wars
The human factor slips
The misguided label themselves as the righteous
While they label everyone else only flaws
The battles are endless
The wars are eternal
But in the end the human factor's gone

Wind and rain heal the earth
Time covers and removes the pain
History is written by the winner always in their favor
The world starts back up again
As the death toll rises

Tens
Hundreds
Thousands
Millions

The number unreadable in the end
The price to high
But man still fights,
Still battles,
Still rages war
In the end man dies

Is this the legacy we leave our children
A war thrown planet
Rout only with pain
Prejudice
Greed
Lies
And hate

Man is born
Man does live
And man must die
Through mans life
Man must learn
Learn away to live with his neighbor
Learn away to live with himself
Most of all man must learn away to live with out anger

The pain we bring scares the planet
This planet we call home
Only with love and understand
Might we heal our woes
Might we heal our home

Until this time
Wars go unfinished
Battles go on unclaimed
Man runs his race unto uncertain ends
And an uncertain future that has been left un-drawn
In the sands of the hour glass
