As Long As Men Fight

[Verse] My dear the sky can burn with fire Words like smoke rise ever higher A truth can sting but lies conspire [Prechorus] If hearts are swords we wield so blind Who wins the war of mind on mind [Chorus] As long as men fight as long as they try Sometimes a lie is right sometimes we deny The world spins crooked under the night My dear as long as men fight [Verse 2] Promises fold like paper cranes Tears carve rivers down windowpanes We play the game but who sustains [Bridge] What is the cost of holding peace A mask of love or a sweet release When words are weapons will pain decrease [Chorus] As long as men fight as long as they try Sometimes a lie is right sometimes we deny The stars look down but offer no light My dear as long as men fight
