(Verse 1) In the shadow of the steeples, where the whispers of the divine Echo through the cobblestone streets, like the sighs of lost time We march to the rhythm of hymns, our hearts beating in unison Fueled by the words of the prophets, their promises of a new dawn Our eyes gleaming with purpose, our hands grasping tight to the sword We're the children of righteousness, we're fighting for the Lord But the enemy wears the same face, speaks in a similar tongue And I can't help but wonder, is this battle right or just a ploy? (Chorus) This holy war we're fighting, is it divine or a curse? When we shed blood for the sacred, do we make the universe worse? The angels are weeping, their tears stain the earth As we play God with the lives we've sworn to preserve (Verse 2) The banners of salvation wave in the crimson sky Where once were the doves, now ravens fly by Our prayers lost in the chaos, like whispers in a storm While the heavens seem to have forgotten the meaning of calm Brothers in faith now brothers in arms, we've turned from the light Our souls torn asunder by the deafening plight The cries of the innocent, the fires that never die In the name of the holy, we've become the reason to sigh (Bridge) In the quiet of the nightfall, I lay down my weapon to rest The face of a mother, a son, forever etched in my chest What is this divine justice we claim to pursue? When the line between right and wrong blurs in the hue? (Chorus) This holy war we're fighting, is it heaven's decree? Or a tragic tale of humanity, lost at sea? The angels are weeping, their tears water the ground As we wield our beliefs like weapons to wound (Verse 3) In the silence before dawn, I hear the battle's lament The ghosts of the fallen, in their sorrow they implore What is this divine love that breeds such despair? How can we find peace when we only know to prepare? The pages of scripture, now a manual for our wrath We've twisted the verses to justify our path But in the echoes of the screams and the smell of the pyre I can't find the sanctity we're supposed to admire (Chorus) This holy war we're fighting, it's a burden we bear When we shed blood for the sacred, do we dare? The angels are weeping, their tears a silent cry For the end of this war, for the truth to be nigh (Outro) Let us lay down our arms, let the heavens cease to weep Find the common ground, let love be the cure for our deep sleep For in the end, we're all just souls in the grand design Seeking the peace that lies in the heart, not in a divine fight This holy war, may it never be the same Let love be the legacy, let's end this painful game The angels are watching, their tears slowly dry As we choose the path that leads us to the sky
