There's a dark heart parked out in your destiny
Ready to whisk you off from where you long to be
The heat and fear inside you burn needlessly
There's a bad road laid out and I wonder do we really see
There are old men pushing young ones where they don't need to be
There's a dark heart growing from an evil seed
A young face is cold and told to rest in peace
Families that wait back home get news of tragedy
But then you pop right up and say
These kids must go and do what's right
You give your orders all day
How do you lay your head down and sleep at night
But all the arm chair warriors are the bravest
'Cause they don't go and fight
Are we falling
Into the traps of a war
Falling toward what is wrong
Reaching beyond what we have learned
To touch the souls of those now gone
There's a dark heart moving throughout this world of ours
Pushed on through time by greed and a lust for power
What once was need is now uncontrolled desire
But all the hot shot leaders handing orders out
Will never take advice
Because the pockets of the rich
Are being filled each time another soldier dies
